Abstract:		 Early railways in England - broadly, those of the pre-locomotive period - were numerous, geographically widespread and well developed. They made a significant contribution to the rise of the new industrial economy between 1700 and 1830. They were important in their own right and as precursors to the railway revolution of the second half of the 19th century. Since 2000, early railways have benefitted from focussed research and debate through a series of international conferences - six in all - and the publication of the papers that have emanated from them. The material evidence of early railways is more extensive and more significant than previously thought. Important elements of this evidence are held in museum collections. This study, commissioned by Historic England, reviews the current literature and summarise the wider state of understanding of early railways with a view to recommending future research and publication and to offer guidance on potential designation. It is not intended to be exhaustive nor unduly prescriptive, more to offer a way forward that is practical and achievable.
