THIS really is a book with a difference. At first glance, I did not think it would appeal, but within a dozen or so pages Iwas hooked.
Vic Millington is an artist who decided the best way to convey the essence of a line as old as the Leicester & Swannington was through a series of paintings. In so doing, he has not only brought one of England’s earliest railways to life but created a world in which readers who never saw the line in use can somehow feel as though they did… not only in LMS and BR days, but in the Victorian and Edwardian eras too.
