Publisher's Synopsis
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 As well as rare and unpublished pictures, this volume also provides an insight into the Great Western "empire" away from the works itself, including views of stations, structures, and trains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.
