Show Notes
When Britain’s railways are placed within the context of the empire they helped to maintain, they are framed as one of the only ‘good’ legacies of imperialism. In this episode, we focus on the original Great Western Railway and how it's linked to history within the British slave trade.
Featuring Dr. Oli Betts, research lead at the National Railway Museum in York.
