The Shropshire and Montgomery Light Railway's origins date back to the 1860s and an impecunious line called the Potteries Shrewsbury North Wales Railway opened its main line initially in 1866. Like many rural lines, the Potts, as it became nicknamed, struggled to make ends meet and was to suffer regular periods of closure during the late 19th century and indeed was all but wound up in the 1880s. Somehow it survived and in the first decade of the 20th century its fortunes were revived under the influence of the great Colonel Stephens, king of light railways in Great Britain. The line passed to the control of the army during World War II - a number of camps were constructed along the route - and it remained under military control until it was largely closed in 1960. The final section, serving an oil terminal near Shrewsbury Abbey station, survived until the 1880s. This is a highly illustrated history of this rural line from its origins in the 1860s through to the role of the military in World War 2 and subsequent closure. With a large number of unseen photographs and line drawings the book also includes railway ephemera (tickets, timetables, etc.) that will be of interest to the reader.
