It is an institution with its own rituals and priests, and a long-neglected aspect of Britain's architecture. And yet so little do we look at the railway station.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimon Jenkins has travelled the length and breadth of Great Britain, from Waterloo to Wemyss Bay, Betws-y-Coed to Beverley, to select his hundred best railway stations. Blending his usual insight and authority with his personal reflections and experiences - including his founding the Railway Heritage Trust - the foremost expert on our national heritage deftly reveals the history, geography, design and significance of each of these glories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Beautifully illustrated with colour photographs throughout, this joyous exploration of our social history shows the station's role in the national imagination; champions the engineers, architects and rival companies that made them possible; and tells the story behind the triumphs and follies of these very British creations. These are the marvellous, often undersung places that link our nation, celebrated like never before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'However spectacular the book's photographs, it's the author's prowess as a phrase-maker that keeps you turning the pages' \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'An uplifting exploration of our social history' \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimon Jenkins\u003c\/b\u003e is author of the bestselling \u003ci\u003eA Short History of England, A Short History of Europe, Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEngland's Thousand Best Churches\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEngland's Thousand Best Houses\u003c\/i\u003e.
