About the book >.>.> Not another book on the Somerset & Dorset surely? Yes indeed and an unashamed photographic record of England’s favourite branch line at that. What makes this book special though is that as a result of Alan Hammond’s previous three books of memories of the line he has gathered together a remarkable collection of photo- graphs of hundreds of people who once worked on the S&D. Stations signalboxes and locomotives all feature inevitably but the bulk of the photographs concentrates on people – people working relaxing posing celebrating. The illustrations are spiced with seven short memories from various people involved with the line in different ways – a driver two firemen a guard a signalman a porter and a passenger. (SP)
