Notes:
Covers the subject in substantial detail. Organised geographically - Clifton, Pendlebury & Agecroft; Pendleton, Salford and Eccles; Atherton, Leigh and Tyldesley; Tyldesley, Little Hulton and Astley Green - and within this by business operating a railway. There are also chapters dealing specifically with the Bridgewater Collieries up to 1929, 1929-47 and post 1947. Much general information is provided about these businesses, additional to their railway operations, which makes this publication of interest to a much wider group of historians
