An Afternoon with Simon Bradley

Join Simon Bradley in our Sunday School Building as he introduces his new book, Bradley's Railway Guide.

Simon's latest book tells the story of Britain' railways from 1825 to the present in 201 illustrated chapters, documented year by year. As an unrivalled centre of innovation, Britain remains exceptional both for the range and diversity of its railway history and for its commitment to preserve the railways.

As well as key subjects in railway history, the talk will bring you less familiar stories from across two railway centuries, including the advent of passenger railcards, the impact of terrorist attacks in the late nineteenth century, and the poignant world of the station collecting dog.

Book your place today and have the chance to ask questions and get your copy of the book signed after the event.
