Another Middleton Press volume by Vic Mitchell and Keith Smith, this one describing the complicated lines around Ascot, famous for it's horse racing of course.
The local area was also important for the military which drove early railway development, though this area of Berkshire and Surrey became heavily populated thanks to the railway, with many people commuting to the big cities nearby (most notably London).
The book includes stations such as Camberley, Longcross and Bagshot, plus Ascot itself of course. This is a lovely part of the country, and the railways of, that i have travelled extensively around over the last few years (some of my photos below) so that adds to the enjoyment for me.
This has all the hallmarks of a good Middleton Press volume including period maps and images plus information packed captions.
