Written by Ian Pope and Paul Karau this two-volume series provides an excellent record of the Great Westerns' Forest of Dean branches.
Volume one covers in detail the route from the Gloucester-Newport line at Newnham, into the forest, past the well-known Eastern United colliery to Cinderford. Along the way each station and siding is described and illustrated. Information is provided not only on the railway but also the customers it served and their business.
