Thanks Mike.

Full Steam Ahead, the introduction of steam railways in the early 19th century changed Britain in a way no one could have predicted.

This is the first programme in a new series, looks interesting, series link set. :D

I have watched the first programme in the series and found it to be very interesting and informative. It has the making of an excellent series.

Historians Ruth Goodman, Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn bring back to life the golden age of steam and explore how Victorian railways created modern Britain. More HERE

This is one of the early books mentioned in this series. I have managed to download it and covert it to PDF, If anyone would like a copy just let me know and I will e-mail it to you. 154 pages, there were a lot more but I have deleted them, they were just a list of the publishers other books.

Will definitely have to catch up on this program, but the gymnastics have taken first place and Joan got the Gold medal.

Well, you are probably getting fed up with menow, but yes, I really enjoyed the latest episode. It also brought back many childhood memories, including bottle of sterilised milk.

Last night's episode was the last in the series, such a shame that the steam has run out.

Full marks for the series though.
