This is number 2 of a series of three volumes by Wrottesley which span the whole of the GNR period and are a more modern historical account of the company which is an excellent accompaniment to Grinling’s classic work.
Clearly, this was written with Grinling in mind, but it has the benefit of a modern historian’s access to archives that were not available in earlier times. All three are excellent reads, very informative and a GNR student would benefit from having them on their shelves.
Out of print, but readily available from most online secondhand sellers – prices vary but they can usually be purchased for under £15 each and often significantly less.
