Description

falling-gradient
Falling Gradient – Limerick’s Railway Connections, The People and The Times, is the first ever locally produced book on the subject and is very different from other railway books. It covers the building of the lines out of the city, the places they served, the people that built them and the people that worked them. There are many real life human interest stories told along the way, that are at times humorous, moving, compelling and gripping. The social history spans more than 170 years, taking in the Great Famine of the 1840s, the Great War, The 1916 Rising, The War of Independence, The General Strike, the Civil War, The Emergency, and the Bitter Railway Strike of 1950/5
Date of Publication: 29/09/2016 First edition paperback signed by the author
