Birmingham Transport (Sutton's Photographic History of Transport), Mike Hitches

This fascinating and evocative collection of over two hundred informatively captioned photographs describes the wide variety of transport systems that have operated in Birmingham from the mid-eitheenth century to the present day - from canals to railways, trams and buses.  The Grand Union Canal, a wealth of railway companies and Midland Red buses are all part of the infrastructure that allowed a great industrial city to grow.
