The first volume of this three-part illustrated history of the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway – a project to link Warrington with an east coast port at Sutton-on-Sea. Only part of the route was ever built, from Chesterfield to Pyewipe Junction with a branch to Beighton, near Sheffield. The line was taken over by the Great Central Railway in 1907 and used largely as a coal carrying railway. This volume looks at the line from Chesterfield to Langwith Junction, the Beighton Branch and the Sheffield District Railway 160 pages.
