Volume Six Ironstone Lines

Ivo Peters’ love of railways was widespread. Not only did he cover the famous main lines and well-known minor railways in his 16mm colour cine film collection, but he delved into the realms of industrial steam, where fascinating small (and large) engines performed the vital tasks of British industry. Probably one of the least-known areas was that of the Ironstone districts, where some of the most delightful and attractive industrial railways in the whole country ran along the edges of fields, through small woods and the heart of the countryside to connecting lines with British Railways.

This is the first visit to Ironstone Lines in the Ivo Peters Collection; full details of lines featured and their locations are printed on the reverse of this cover. More industrial railways will be seen in future volumes
