Great Western Railway Map 1950 – Pre-Beeching GWR Network
Discounts applied at checkout
This is a striking map of the Great Western Railway network as it stood in 1950, showing just how extensive the British rail system was before the Beeching cuts of the 1960s reduced it dramatically.
Detailed inset maps show the rail lines around South Wales, Birmingham, and the approach into Paddington station in London. Locations across the network include Cornwall, Somerset, Devon, Dorset, Wiltshire, London, Southampton, Cardiff, Pembroke, St Ives, Plymouth, Exeter, Torquay and Bristol.
This would make a wonderful gift for anyone with an interest in British railway history, or with ties to Wales or the West Country.
