..........Nottingham Victoria Pictures: The Construction of the Line

I recently came across a superb booklet detailing the construction of Victoria station and the line through Nottingham. Instead of just taking a sample of this super book I have decided to scan in and put it online here- all 48 pages of it.
I hope the author will not mind me doing this - it was published in 1978 and is no longer in print.
It shows photos of bridge construction, buildings that were demolished to make way for the line and the locos & machines used.

All the photos in the book have come from the S. W. A. Newton collection which now resides at the Leicestershire Record Office under the care of Leicestershire County Council.
Leicestershire Record Office is currently in the process of having the entire collection digitised for inclusion on a new website called "The Last Main Line", which will tell the story of the London Extension through a series of nearly 4000 pictures.
For further details on the collection or upcoming website contact the following:

All the pages are listed below and are direct scans (some are a little out of line - excuse that!). They are in jpeg format so are not too big (about 70kb each).

Contents:
Pages 1 to 14 - all about the Victoria station site, how the station was laid out and what was there before
Pages 15 to 48 - show how the line was constructed. The pictures start from the Bulwell area and move south through Victoria and to south of the River Trent.
