The Great Western Railway in the Stroud Valley Volume Three is the final part of Mike Fenton’s GWR in the Stroud Valley trilogy. It covers the years 1914-47, encompassing two world wars, with the loss of Chalford railmotor shed, the development of auto-working, a detailed look at the railmotor halts, the success of the legendary ‘Cheltenham Flyer’, memories of station staff, banking with the ‘3150’ Class 2-6-2Ts at Brimscombe and first-hand accounts from Second World War working. The volume concludes with a unique look at the period leading up to nationalisation through the eyes of one of the valley’s stalwart enginemen. The narrative is enhanced by the use of numerous sepia and black & white images, along with maps, timetables, tickets and other memorabilia.

Numerous sepia and black & white images. Large format hardback. 180 pages
