When you think about contemporary images of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, the most recognisable are a collection of images by Thomas Talbot [T.T.] Bury. Initially, six plates were published in 1831, then an expanded 2nd edition (12 plates)(1832) and 3rd edition (15 plates)(1833).

A lost view of Liverpool...
Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, with its impressive 331ft tower. The Largest Cathedral in the UK, and 5th largest in the World.
Originaly taken on 35mm transparency, in the early 1980's.
Sadly, this view is now hidden by development.

Bearded Martin, wearing a red helmet, smiling as he pokes his head up through a opening in an overgrown man made hole in the ground.
With much sadness, we announce the death of Martin Dixon on 15/10/2025, having had cancer for over 5 years. He was a long-time member, former chairman.
He & Linda enjoyed many happy times together, including organising numerous Sub Brit trips.
We'd love to hear your anecdotes & memories of Martin.

Today is the 195th anniversary of modern railways. The first inter-city railway opened on this day when eight trains left Crown Street in Liverpool for Liverpool Road in Manchester.
It didn't do a lot of "firsts", it just got the combination right becoming the template for everything that followed.

Not saying crime was rife in Liverpool in 1978, but apparently, even if it was bolted down, it was not safe. Page 15 of the Liverpool Echo for the 9th June 1978 has two separate railway thefts relating to the Liverpool & Manchester Railway.

George Stephenson (1781-1848), seen as the father of the railways, died #OTD 1848. He and his son Robert built the first steam passenger railway, the Stockton and Darlington, and built the first public inter-city railway, the Liverpool and Manchester.
