Anthony Dawson
Hello! I'm Anthony Dawson, Railway Historian.
I specialise in the history of the Early Railways, so everything from Richard Trevithick's pioneering efforts in South Wales in 1804 upto the middle of the nineteenth century, c.1850. An exciting period of railway development: a time of giants - Robert Stephenson, Joseph Locke, Brunel. A time when engineers were not afraid to experiment and the public thrilled at ever larger, and faster locomotives, and the gory press reports when things went wrong.
I hope you find my videos entertaining, educational and inspirational.
