An Assortment of British Local History, Railway, and Heritage Site Publications

This lot comprises several printed works including books and souvenir guides primarily focused on British heritage and local history. The collection includes a cloth-bound hardcover edition of Hand-Book of Stations, a standard railway reference work. There are three softcover local history titles: Colne As It Was, with photographs selected and introduced by Wilfred Spencer; This Was Nelson by John Bentley; and A Walk Round Castlefield by Derek Brumhead and Terry Wyke. Additionally, there are two site-specific souvenir guides: an official guide for Edinburgh Castle published by Historic Scotland, and a guide for the Royal Armouries Museum featuring a cover image of the museum’s elephant armour. The publications feature various photographic illustrations, ranging from sepia-toned archival images to contemporary colour photography. Handwritten ink annotations are visible on the upper margin of the Colne volume, including the name Banks and a date of 3.2.86.
