Books by Philip Horton

The author was borne in Bath in 1947 and, growing up in the suburb of Oldfield Park soon realised that he was virtually surrounded by railways. He joined the groups of small boys who spent their free time pursuing the then popular hobby of train-spotting. In 1960 the City's railways still owed much to the pre-war railway companies. Six years later the Western Region achieved its objectives of complete dieselisation and the closure of Bath Green Park. This book is the author's personal pictorial record of these changes.
