SUMMARY:
By request, a video looking at the typical English narrow gauge systems of just a few years ago. The first half of the video consists of previously unseen footage of Far Ings Tileries, Syslvasprings Watercress, Soda Crystal Works at Brunner Mond, and Cherry Orchard Lane at Butterley Building Materials.
The second half of the video incoprporates footage that had been featured on videos now not available such as water works at Stoke Bardolf, Dukinfield, and North Bierley, and other industries such as Biwater Pipes and UES Ltd. In August 2005 this title has been re-released as a DVD, and now includes additional footage from surface systems at Bentley and Gascoine Wood collieries, and some recent and some older footage on peat railways.
