Ports of the London & North Eastern Railway 1927 : compiled by H. N. Appleby : London & North Eastern Railway : London : 1930 : cover by Frank Henry Mason

            The mainline railways were major owners and operators of shipping infrastructure and, following Grouping in 1923, the LNER became responsible for a number of East Coast ports, docks and harbours; East Coast with one exception. The lone West Coast port of Silloth, west of Carlisle, was an LNER facility. This large tome is the first edition of what became an essentially annual publication and it gives details as to the various ports, their services and many of the shipping lines, destinations and times. There are also many adverts for associated companies and services such as coal, steel and iron producers in the LNER's operating territory. Coal was an especially important export trade for the railways. This edition is again 'compiled and arranged' by H.N. Appleby who had much involvement in such publications for both the LNER and other railways.

The cover on this of the 1930 edition is by noted maritime artist Frank Henry Mason (1875 - 1965) an artist who was regularly commissioned by the LNER and other major clients. The fine dockside scene viewed across the ship's deck reads over both front and back cover. Amidst a background typical of the Tyne or Tees a steam locomotive is being slung aboard a vessel for export.
