Whittingham book review


David Hindle's new book about the Whittingham Hospital Railway is available now.

The book will appeal to anyone with an interest in local history, but especially those with a leaning towards railways. It tackles the darker reasons for the WHR’s existence and looks at the how it affected those who were incarcerated at the hospital, those who worked there and the considerable number who simply took advantage of what became something of a local, yet world-renown tourist attraction!

This is a comprehensive and very readable account of one of the most curious and quaint railways ever to have existed.
