Publisher Description: The Great Western Railway at Swindon dominated the history of the town for almost 150 years. This book gives a selection of photographs featuring the men and women who worked at Swindon, as well as a glimpse of life beyond the walls of the factory. As well as rare and unpublished pictures, this volume also provides an insight into the Great Western -empire- away from the works itself, including views of stations, structures, and trains to be found on a rail journey from the town. |
