“In the early days of railways some British landowners were very awkward, and now we may be glad that they were. For when the first railways were built large parts of England were still a kind of vast landscape garden, planted in the middle years of the eighteenth century and just then reaching maturity. The intrusion of the railways into these lovely scenic pictures was a different matter from that of the gently dozing canals. So the companies made great efforts to soften the violence of their impact.” —Alec Clifton-Taylor, author of “The Pattern of English Building,” in a 8.8. C. talk about Britain's railway buildings.
