Swindon Works

The age of steam is past, the heyday of Swindon Works is long gone - but the legend lives on. What made the Great Western Railway's Swindon Works iconic? Was it its worldwide reputation, perhaps its profound impact in shaping the new town of Swindon, or that it melded those who worked there into one big family? In a new and exciting format, this book, by popular railway historian Rosa Matheson, helps explain why the never-ending love story endures. With big facts and fascinating stories, it is a must read not only for ex-Works employees and their families, nor just for GWR fans and railway enthusiasts, but also for any newcomer seeking to find a good way into railway history. ROSA MATHESON is Swindon's best-known railway author. A long-time enthusiast of Swindon Works, GWR and women's railway history, she has written a number of books and articles on these topics.
