University Theses

One of the advantages of the Internet is wider & convenient access to research material.   Like most universities, Durham publishes theses, some of which cover local industrial, social & economic history.   Try Durham's search with the title John Bowes & Partners to access Mountford's 1967 work.

For those who would like to read a book, try Tomlinson's North Eastern Railway of 1915 from the University of California.
