There have been many books published that would be useful to those interested in the history of the South Eastern & Chatham Railway, the South Eastern Railway and the London, Chatham and Dover Railway or those the are looking for references or information for models.
The Society has compiled a bibliography that covers rail transport in the area served by the SECR.
It is not claimed that this list is complete but it is certainly a good starting point!
A SMALLER SELECTION
Everyone will have books that are their own personal favourites that they return back to for resource or inspiration. The books below are a small selection that someone wanting to learn more about the SECR might start with. Unfortunately not all are still in print but most can be picked up online or in good secondhand book shops.
