    Digital Book Sales Catalogue.Pdf

    January 2021 The Industrial Railway Society was founded in 1949 as the Industrial Locomotive Section of the Birmingham Locomotive Club. Its earliest activity was to produce a set of regional Pocket Books listing all known industrial locomotives in those areas. Over the years the Pocket Books have expanded to become highly detailed Handbooks, and since 1969 the Society has also published the EL series, a list of all existing locos in industrial service, on Heritage Railways and in private ownership in the UK and Ireland. Literature on industrial railways was often not well catered for by general bookshops, so it soon became IRS policy to try to make available for sale (sometimes at a discount to IRS members) a range of Industrial, Narrow Gauge and Light Railway publications (including some foreign publications) which are not easily obtained in the High Street. The loss of some specialist railway bookshops in recent years (the last Ian Allan transport bookshop closed in October 2020) has made this service even more important. Because of its contacts in this specialist area the IRS also frequently obtains out of print volumes that are not easy to find, even on the Internet. This Catalogue lists those publications which were in stock in December 2020, although stocks of older (out of print) books may be low, and the titles may therefore soon become unavailable. Other railway books from main-stream publishers can often be obtained but these are NOT usually held in stock. Titles are listed by publisher, with an index of titles at the end of the Catalogue.

    Chronicles of Croesor Crossing (ISBN 978 1 906205 39 3) with a Corrigenda Sheet Dated 8 August 2012

    CROESOR CROSSING by Richard Maund Some names…. The crossing was usually referred to as Cambrian or Great Western crossing or Croesor crossing, depending on which railway one approached it from, but it is Cae Pawb (“everybody’s field”) crossing to both of today’s railways. There are two principal “Jones” in this story: D G Jones – David Griffith Jones – on 23 February 1922 was selected as Clerk to the Carnarvonshire (as it then was) County Council and also acted as secretary to the Representatives of the Investing Authorities, a committee of those local authorities who had been persuaded or coerced into loaning money to the Welsh Highland venture (their meeting minutes are archived with the county council minutes) – he had previously been the clerk to Gwyrfai Rural District Council and a member of the county council; T D Jones & Co was the London firm of solicitors which acted on behalf of the Council (one of the principals was T Ivor Jones). It is the latter firm’s files, now archived at the National Library of Wales at Aberystwyth, that we have to thank for much of the information contained in this essay. The road crossing next south of Croesor crossing was variously called Edwards’ (after long-term tenants/crossing keepers), Traeth (Cambrian instructions 1921) or Traethmawr (GWR instructions). The Edwards family had moved by 1901 1 but it’s not clear exactly when the crossing’s name officially changed. In the beginning (the pre-Cambrian era) The Aberystwith and Welsh Coast Railway (A&WC) first sought powers to construct its railway from Barmouth to Pwllheli in the 1860/61 session of Parliament.
