Lost Tramways of England: Leeds West is the first of two volumes in the series covering the history of trams in the city, from their origins in the late 19th century through to the final routes in November 1959. This volume examines in detail the early history of the tramways on the city's western side.• The Lost Tramways of England series documents the tram networks which were at the heart of many of Britain’s growing towns and cities from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century.• Transport expert Peter Waller, author of numerous works on the regional tram systems of the UK, guides the reader along the route of the network and discusses its key features stop by stop.• As well as rigorously detailed transport history, these volumes provide an intimate glimpse into life as it was lived during this period, and the recognisable streets which have been maintained or transformed through the decades.• An informative, accessible and portable resource for the tram enthusiast as well as the general reader, and a superb souvenir or gift for visitors past and present.• Photo illustrated throughout, including many archive images which are appearing in print for the first time.
The Lost Tramways of Scotland series documents the tram networks which were at the heart of many of Britain’s growing towns and cities from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. An informative, accessible and portable resource for the tram enthusiast as well as the general reader, and a superb souvenir or gift for visitors past and present.Edinburgh played host to Scotland'd most significant cable tramway, although, by the early 1920s, electric trams had taken over. The system continued to grow until the late 1930s and new trams were built even after World War II. However, over less than a decade, all were swept away and the final trams operated in 1956. Also covered are the operations of Leith Corporation and Musselburgh & District.
The first volume in the ‘Lost Tramways of Ireland’ series features the history of the Belfast system, including its origins as a horse tramway in the 1870s, its conversion to electric traction in the early 20th century, its role in two World Wars, the conversion of the network to bus and trolleybus operation from the late 1940s and the system’s eventual demise in 1954. Amongst the locations featured are Glengormley, Greencastle and Bloomfield as well as York Road and Queen’s Quay railway stations.
The first of two volumes covering the history of tramcar operation in Glasgow. The book narrates the story of the city’s impressive network from its origins as a horse tramway in the 1870s, through the early years of electrification and expansion during the first decades of the 20th century through to World War II. The book also focuses on locations in the southern half of the city, including South of the Clyde, Paisley, Mosspark and Burnside.
The second of two volumes covering the history of tramcar operation in Glasgow. The book narrates the story of the city’s impressive network from the immediate post-war years, when the system was regarded as one of the most secure in the country, through the 1950s, when a change of policy initially saw a limited conversion policy instituted before complete abandonment was adopted, to the early 1960s when the final services were operated. This volume focuses on locations in the northern half of the city including City Centre, Clydebank, University and Keppochhill Road.
Lost Tramways of England: Leeds East is the second of two volumes in the series covering the history of trams in the city, from their origins in the late 19th century through to the conversion of the final routes in November 1959. This volume examines in detail the later history of the system from the outbreak of war in September 1939 through the developments of the 1940s to the period of conversion from the early 1950s, as well as concentrating on routes that served the eastern side of the city, such as those to Temple Newsam, Middleton, Gipton and Hunslet.
This is one of four volumes to cover the history of electric tramcar operation inLondon; concentrating on the routes to the northeast, the system in this area was largely the result of development by a number of local authorities and was converted largely to trolleybus operation in the years leading to 1940. Amongst locations featured are Barking, llford, East Ham and West Ham.
This is one of four volumes to cover the history of electric tramcar operation in London; it concentrates on those routes to the north and north-west of the River Thames. The bulk of this area saw its tramways largely converted to trolleybus operation during the 1930s. Locations featured include Edgware, Barnet, Waltham Cross and Wood Green.
This is one of four volumes to cover the history of electric tramcar operation inLondon. Stretching once as far east as Dartford, much of the network south-east of the river survived World War II and remained operational until the process of conversion commenced in 1950. Amongst locations featured are Woolwich, Eltham, Grove Park and Abbey Wood.
This was the area that witnessed the London United Tramway’s early trolleybus routes as well as operations of Croydon Corporation. Although many of the routes were to be converted before the outbreak of war a number were to survive until the final conversion of the system. Locations featured include Croydon, Purley, Kingston, Richmond and Wandsworth.

This textbook focuses specifically on the combined topics of irrigation and drainage engineering. It emphasizes both basic concepts and practical applications of the latest technologies available. The design of irrigation, pumping, and drainage systems using Excel and Visual Basic for Applications programs are explained for both graduate and undergraduate students and practicing engineers. The book emphasizes environmental protection, economics, and engineering design processes. It includes detailed chapters on irrigation economics, soils, reference evapotranspiration, crop evapotranspiration, pipe flow, pumps, open-channel flow, groundwater, center pivots, turf and landscape, drip, orchards, wheel lines, hand lines, surfaces, greenhouse hydroponics, soil water movement, drainage systems design, drainage and wetlands contaminant fate and transport. It contains summaries, homework problems, and color photos. The book draws from the fields of fluid mechanics, soil physics, hydrology,soil chemistry, economics, and plant sciences to present a broad interdisciplinary view of the fundamental concepts in irrigation and drainage systems design.
