East and West Through Roby - A Railway and Local History 1830-2011

A local history, initially begun as notes on a small area, that - although part of the well-documented, world-famous Liverpool to Manchester Railway - had little record to boast on its behalf. Collating related material already available, Frank Green made further research assembling reports from over a century of newspapers, describing events around Broad Green, Roby, Huyton, Huyton Quarry, and the Cronton Branch railway. Also included here, quotations from various publications which make relevant historical comment, and personal reminiscences from people who lived or worked locally. This 385 page history features 360 photographs and 55 illustrations, including maps and diagrams.
