The world's oldest railway: a history of the Middleton Railway - J. Bushell

The World's Oldest Railway: A History of the Middleton Railway, written by J. Bushell and published by Turntable Publications in 1975. This paperback forms part of the Minor Railways of Britain series and sets out the history of the Middleton Railway, with a line illustration of an early steam locomotive on the cover.

The covers are cream with red rule lines and lettering, and the illustrated locomotive appears again on the title page spread alongside a folded insert relating to a memorial for Matthew Murray. A small price sticker marked 75p is present on the title page. The copyright page confirms the 1975 date and ISBN 0902844 27 X, along with a list of other titles in the same series and the publisher's note on the Middleton Railway's claim to primacy.

The covers show some light marking and toning, with a small blue mark to the front cover and faint staining to the lower edge of the back cover. The spine shows the staple binding typical of this style of booklet. Overall wear is consistent with a secondhand paperback of this age.
