Andy M Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Recently released from Transport Treasury, is Volume 5 in the series of books featuring the archive of the late great R.C. 'Dick' Riley. This book contains 150+ images taken during his numerous visits to Swindon Works, Shed and Station between the years 1937-1964 and is divided into three chapters: Pre-Nationalisation Great Western (1937-1947), Early Years of the Western Region (1948-1956) and Western Steam Finale (1957-1964). It was my great pleasure to choose, edit and caption this selection of treasures, which not only document the changing face of the Great Western's engineering metropolis, but also show the development of the skills of one of our greatest railway photographers. At just £14.50 for 112 pages, these books are very good value for money and I do hope readers enjoy it as much as I did dusting off the old grey matter to research and put it together. Regards, Andy.
