Historic England Launch New Book: ‘England’s Lost Transport Heritage from the Air’

Historic England and Liverpool University Press have recently published ‘England’s Lost Transport Heritage from the Air’, our latest industrial heritage title – https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/englands-lost-transport-heritage-from-air/. Written by Allan Brodie, this book uses Aerofilms’ remarkable photographic collection to tell the story of England’s lost transport heritage, from Roman roads to supersonic Concorde.

Flying across the country from 1919 onwards Aerofilms recorded England’s complex infrastructure of road, rail and maritime transport. The book complements Historic England’s earlier publications ‘England’s Railway Heritage from the Air (https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/englands-railway-heritage-from-the-air/) and ‘England’s Motoring Heritage from the Air’ (https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/englands-motoring-heritage-from-air/).
