The Stainmore line was the highest of the several trans-Pennine rail routes, its summit at Stainmore being 1370 feet above sea level. It was also the most spectacular, with magnificent viaducts and bridges. The author illustrates and describes the line in detail from Barnard Castle to Tebay, together with its associated branches, from opening in the 1860s by the North Eastern Railway, to closure under the Beeching "Axe" in 1962. The book features comprehensive photographic coverage of trains in action, the motive power used, stations, goods sheds, bridges and viaducts; scale drawings of stations and structures specially drawn for this work, making it an essential reference for the modeller; numerous maps, track plans, documents and illustrations of sundry railway items - lamps, tickets, tokens and notices; illustrations from the earliest days of the line through to the abandoned trackbed and derelict buildings of recent times; extensive photographic coverage of the now-demolished Belah Viaduct. The line is well known to railway enthusiasts through the famous British Transport film "Snowdrift at Bleath Gill" which portrayed the rescue of a train stuck in snow near the summit for nearly a week.

When Blackpool Tower was being built, many people said it would be a failure. Originally estimated at £150,000, it ended up costing twice that much and John Bickerstaffe nearly went bust building this unique attraction. But he was right. Once the Tower was open, his company made a profit every year that it existed as an independent public entity.Not only was the Tower profitable, but it fuelled the Tower Company as Bickerstaffe built it into the dominant entertainment group in Blackpool. Under his leadership it acquired the Palace and later the Winter Gardens and Opera House. By the 1930s it was running ballrooms, cinemas, live theatre and the famous Tower Circus. The Bickerstaffe brothers were also key figures in Blackpool’s civic life.This is a story of the Victorian entrepreneurship that created Blackpool’s most iconic building, and led to Blackpool being the apogee of seaside entertainment.

This book summarizes twenty-six church services that were attended in Lancaster city and county; in York county, where our home church is located; and two were in Pittsburgh two hundred and fifty miles west of our home in Lancaster. Eight of the summaries are for our home church, Gateway Church International. Four of the summaries are for the Worship Center in Leola, a church built on singing praises to our Creator. Six summaries are for three of the nineteen Lives Changed By Christ campuses. The basic format of the summaries is to detail the worship songs done during the service providing up to eight lines of lyrics for many of these songs. Then to detail the sermon, especially the specific bible verses referenced. Sometimes there were special events like baptisms. On a Wednesday night gathering we were blessed to see the movie 'Before the Wrath.' You will see little personal data here. All credit goes to the Great I Am for this book, God on the Move in Lancaster, PA, as well as for my four other Christian books: Why Jesus Returned; God's Children Step Forth; God's Lessons at the 2010 Chilean Mine Rescue; and God the Creator of Science, Technology and the U.S. Coast Guard.
