The 96-page volume, by Vic Mitchell and Keith Smith, features 120 images tracing the route from Derbyshire into South Yorkshire, taking the opening of the Sheffield & Rotherham Railway in 1838 as its starting point.
There are pictures of Sheffield’s Attercliffe Road station which closed in 1995, photos of horse-drawn carriages lined up outside the city’s Midland Station instead of taxis, and even documentary evidence of dramatic rail accidents from yesteryear.
