No-one could have imagined what a revolutionary change the dawning of the railway age would have on the British countryside and its inhabitants. Somerset was no exception: the Great Western Railway, the London and South Western Railway, and the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway operated many services throughout this beautiful county. In the age of steam and in later days these companies gave communities employment and security; their stations, crossing and engine sheds transformed the landscape and their locomotives were objects of admiration. This book aims to give the reader a chance to look back at scenes and locations that were once so common over a wonderful railway network. Stations such as Chard Junction, Milborne Port, Wellow, Chilcompton and Binegar are depicted. "Somerset Railways" also examines the countless trains that passed by in the age of steam: the Devon Belle and the Pines Express. Enriched by a wealth of photographs of staff from all walks of railway life, this book is a tribute to those railway workers and to the vibrant Somerset railway system that they served.. Paperback.

First published in 1954, ten years after the author's death, this is a wonderful testament to the human spirit.William Soutar was born and educated in Perth, in Scotland. At the age of 32, he became permanently confined to bed due to a progressive disease of the spine. From here, he produced some of the best poetry in Scots and English of his generation, and entertained a lively succession of friends, artists and writers. He recorded all this in his diaries and journals and, finally, in a record that he called The Diary of a Dying Man. He died in 1943 after 14 years of confinement.On 31st August 1939, on the eve of war, he wrote: "Learned from the air this morning that Germany had invaded Poland at dawn - already many cities are suffering bombardment; the first bomb fell among civilians hours ago. Now we await our own evacuees and the first intimation that the first bomb has fallen upon London. The greatest catastrophe which has erupted in the world is already a fact although the oncoming surge of it has not as yet broken over us. Outside in the overcast day, the familiar sounds rise up through the quiet. Children are at play nearby, a tradesman's bell is ringing, someone rattles a pail. And in the garden the autumnal beauty still lingers, halted at this hour in stillness - scarcely a leaf moves on the sycamore tree, under the dark green of the hawthorn are still the blue and yellow blooms, a bird skims silently across the smooth stretch of grass. The peace which we have broken so barbarously abides here for yet another day".But usually an entry was more focussed on the small and the personal: "Miss Young called: being an Auld Licht and an old maid - we couldn't get past the Kirk. Now if one could walk abroad and stop to have a talk with scavengers, bargees, tramps and any chance traveller - talk might become a minor adventure; but as I am - placed here - all talk is limited, practically, to a coterie of drably respectable minds".Harold Niclson called it "a brave and animating book" and Alan Taylor, co-editor of The Assassin's Cloak, wrote that "among the world's great diarists William Soutar is in the first rank". ., Chambers, 1988, Dawn M.
