Books by Richard Gaunt

Nineteenth-century diaries cast new light on politics of the time.

Stunning photographs of Cambridge in the late 1960s, combined with personal recollections, anecdotes from other alumni, and extracts from college archives. The book considers heavyweight issues linked to the widespread student unrest in the 1960s, but suggests that most students were more interested in eating, drinking and making merry.

Industry & The Coast is a gritty depiction of areas with a unique story to tell, immortalised in haunting, previously unpublished photographs of Teeside and Tyne & Wear In the 1960s with a captivating narrative in which the author draws from the abandoned emblems of our industrial history a deeper human significance and sense of place.

In the last few years of steam power on the British railway network, Richard Gaunt was taking photographs across the north of England showing not only the locomotives but the varied and dramatic surroundings they worked in. These beautiful images bring the past to life - for those who remember that era and those with more general interests.
