This selection of 160 images from author Henry Finch's camera, mostly in colour, takes a generous view of the Merseyside and West Cheshire boundaries.

As well as Liverpool, Birkenhead and Chester, other featured locations include Allerton, Crewe, Frodsham, Garston, Helsby, Hooton, Moore, Northwich, Olive Mount, Runcorn, Warrington and Widnes, and there are also glimpses of Arpley, Bidston, Burscough, Cronton, Earlestown, Ellesmere Port, Padgate, Rock Ferry, Rufford, Southport, St Helens and Weaver Jct.

The trains pictured, more than half featuring steam locomotives, range from a steam-age Jinty 0-6-0T shunting coal trucks at the site of Liverpool’s original 1830 Crown Street station, to an electric tilting Advanced Passenger Train on the West Coast Main Line at Winwick Jct.

Photographs illustrate the changes to occur on the region's railways during this period, as steam was completely replaced by diesel and electric motive power. Extensive captions accompany each photograph and tell the story of the development of the railways of Merseyside and West Cheshire during this period. 112 pages.
