The complete story from early plans to the station’s demolition, including industrial usage and some aspects of how the town developed due the railway’s arrival.

“Every aspect of the story is told in fascinating detail, and the author describes how the railway’s arrival had a profound effect on the development of the town itself. Kenilworth nowadays can only watch the trains go by but its railway memories survive and are brought vividly to life in the pages of this well-documented and illustrated book.”
