Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Reference to most authors on the early history of railways will reveal a mention of the railways associated with the Leicester Navigation Company, generally under the title of the Loughborough and Nanpantan Railway. The chief claim to fame of this line which has brought it to the notice of these authors seems to have been its use of cast-iron edge rails at a very early date. Even as recently as 1939, however, we find Mr. Charles E. Lee mentioning the difficulty of obtaining accurate information about this line. Since that date examination of the documents of the Company deposited in the Archives Department of the Leicester City Museums and in the British Transport Commission Archives has made it possible for the facts about this interesting venture to be assembled. | |||
