Tales of the Old Corris

摘要

'A small line with great tales to tell,' says the publicity, and this is true even though the tales themselves account for only 25 pages. There is a touching simplicity which makes one regret that the narrow-gauge Corris slate line (connecting with the Cambrian at Machynlleth) was not saved and to wish luck to those restoring a section of it.rnThe paperback starts with a delightful selection of photographs of pre-GWR days and, after the tales in the middle, ends with a loving portrayal of thernsystem's last twenty years. All three sections are part of the tales. Informative and sometimes nostalgic captions make the most of the photographs, while photographs and captions elaborate the core tales.
