Books by Rosa Matheson

In this fresh approach to railway history, Rosa Matheson explores the grim and grisly railway past.

The Beginning of 'the Works' has entered into the mythology that is now part and parcel of the history of Swindon and its famous parents - the Great Western Railway.

This book provides an evocative record of the 'Swindon Trip' for those who remember the excursions

The Great Western Railway's Swindon Works was the largest employer in the area, even during the early British Railway years. For well over a hundred years thousands of apprentices and trainees passed through its doors to learn the trades of the railways.
