This book follows the old Midland Railway from Matlock to Buxton. Closed in 1968, the pictures of Ray Morten have been re-visited showing how the route has changed since the railway left. The old track bed is now an excellent walk known as the Monsal Trail. Author Alistair Lofthouse has recently assisted the BBC in the production of a TV programme about the trail with Watchdog presenter and ex-Sheffielder Julia Bradbury which was shown on BBC2 in 2009. This book has been reprinted at A5 at a new reduced price, fully updated.
