Coal Mining in Britain

ISBN: 9781784421205

Author: Richard Hayman


Available: Now

Price: £7.99

After the Second World War, the drive for the modernisation of Britain’s railways ushered in a new breed of locomotive: the Diesel. They had been around for some time, but faced with a coal crisis and the Clean Air Act in the 1950s, diesel-powered trains were seen as a part of the solution for British Rail. This beautifully illustrated book, written by an expert on rail history, charts the rise and decline of Britain’s diesel-powered locomotives. It covers a period of great change and experimentation, where the iconic steam engines that had dominated for a century were replaced by a series of modern diesels including the ill-fated ‘Westerns’ and the more successful ‘Deltics’.

Coal heated the homes, fuelled the furnaces and powered the engines of the Industrial Revolution. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the coalfields made up Britain’s industrial heartlands. Coal was known as ‘black gold’ but it was only brought to the surface with skill and at considerable risk. Coal miners became a recognised force in British political life, forming a vociferous and often militant lobby for better working conditions and a decent standard of living. This beautifully illustrated guide to Britain’s industrial heritage covers not just the mines, but the lives of the workers away from the pits, with a focus on the cultural and religious life of mining communities.

ISBN: 9781784420413

Author: Graham Robson



Price: £7.99

In the 1950s and 1960s, luxury car buyers, from government ministers to captains of industry, almost invariably bought British. These were stately, dignified, and grand vehicles, with many featuring leather interiors and wood trim. This new book covers cars in the over-3-litre class from the biggest names in British luxury motoring including Rolls Royce, Daimler and Lagonda, and high-end models from Austin, Rover and Jaguar. It examines the features and characteristics of these classic cars, as well as explaining why they fell from prominence in the 1970s. Replete with beautiful photography throughout, this book is a loving portrait of the British luxury car.

Matchbox Toys

ISBN: 9781784420383

Author: Nick Jones


Available: Now

Price: £7.99

Matchbox toys were ubiquitous items for children across the Western world. Originally labelled Christmas-cracker trash by retailers, the small-scale 1-75 series soon began to see unprecedented worldwide sales in the 1950s. Smaller and cheaper than most of its competitors’ toys, Matchbox models were also far more accurately modelled, but the company has nevertheless seen its own share of challenging times over the years. In this beautifully illustrated book, Matchbox collector Nick Jones tells the story of Matchbox and its most famous toys, from the Coronation Coach to the Batmobile, and complements the story with beautiful, previously unpublished photographs.

In the 1950s and 1960s, British sports car ruled the road, and their charge was led by Triumphs. From the TR2, its first modern sports car, Triumph went on to produce a host of classic sports designs such as the Spitfire, GT, and Stag, as well as more TR models, ending with the TR7 in the late 1970s. Fast, nimble, and gorgeous to behold, Triumphs offered the everyday motorist an exhilarating drive at a price that they could afford. Illustrated throughout and written by acclaimed motoring historian Graham Robson, this book guides the reader through the history of this classic British marque from its heyday through to its eventual demise in the 1980s.

No country feels the pull of its railway past more strongly than Britain. No one else feels such nostalgia for the age of steam. Paul Atterbury – famous for chronicling Britain’s island railway story – presents a superb set of photographs describing in pictures daily life on the railways in the twentieth century. With a strong emphasis on the steam age, Paul’s photographs show the everyday life of the railway, from passenger and goods trains, to stations and staff, and the annual excitement of the seaside holiday.

In the Middle Ages, it was thought that praying at the right shrine could save you from just about anything. With saints believed to have the ear of God, veneration of figures such as St Thomas Becket, St Cuthbert, and St Margaret inspired tens of thousands of people to make pilgrimages. Saints, Shrines and Pilgrims takes the reader across Britain, providing a map of the most important religious shrines, as well as descriptions and images of the shrines themselves. It explains the history of pilgrimage in Britain and the importance that it played in medieval life, and describes the impact of the unbridled assault made on pilgrimage by the Reformation.

London’s many cemeteries, churches and graveyards are the last resting places of a multitude of people from many different walks of life. Politicians, writers and military heroes rub shoulders with engineers, courtesans, and musicians, along with quite a few eccentric characters. Arranged geographically, this comprehensive guide includes famous graves in all the major cemeteries and churches in Greater London, including Highgate, Kensal Green, Westminster Abbey, and St Paul’s Cathedral, as well as the City churches and many suburban parish churches. As well as being a historical guide, it also serves as an indispensable reference guide for any budding tombstone tourist.

From weapons analysts and air mechanics to cooks and clerks, generations of women have served in the Wrens (Women’s Royal Naval Service or WRNS). The Royal Navy was the first of the UK armed services to admit women during the First World War with the purpose of freeing up men to go to sea by giving their job to trained female workers. This book focuses on the work and experiences of the Wrens during the two world wars, introducing the kinds of jobs they performed and the places where they served. It contains poignant accounts from the women themselves, along with contemporary images of the Wrens in action and modern photographs of their uniforms, badges and insignia.

In the early years of the Industrial Revolution, canals formed the arteries of Britain. This new history of Britain’s canals starts with the first Roman waterways, moving on to their golden age in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and ends with the present day, describing the rise and fall of canal building and use in the UK. It tells the story of the narrow boats and barges borne by the canals, and the boatmen who steered them as well as the wider tale of waterway development through the progress of civil engineering. Replete with beautiful photographs, this is a complete guide to some of the most accessible and beautiful pieces of Britain’s heritage.

Medieval Castles of England and Wales

ISBN: 9781784422141

Author: Bernard Lowry


Available: May 2017

Price: £8.99

Designed to dominate the surrounding area, to house powerful garrisons, offer sumptuous quarters for local nobility, and to discourage and repel enemy attacks, castles dominated England and Wales for more than half a millennium. This book examines why castles were so essential to medieval warfare, their importance in domestic politics, and the day-to-day lives of those who lived and worked within them. It also shows how the development of new technologies affected their construction and design, and why they eventually fell into disrepair in the late Middle Ages.

gothic Revival architecture

ISBN: 9781784422288

Author: Trevor Yorke


Available: June 2017

Price: £7.99

From the Houses of Parliament to the Midland Hotel at St Pancras and Strawberry Hill House, Gothic Revival buildings are some of the most distinctive structures found in Britain. Throwing out the old Classical rule book, architects like Pugin and George Gilbert Scott designed buildings which were asymmetrical in form and visually expressive of their function. The movement went beyond just bricks and mortar and had a strong moral code, the influence of which was still felt into the 20th century. In this illustrated book, Trevor Yorke tells the story of the Gothic Revival from its origins in the Georgian Period through to its High Victorian climax.

fashion in the 1950s

ISBN: 9780747812241

Author: Daniel Milford-Cottam


Available: May 2017

Price: £7.99

More than a footnote to the Second World War, or a foreword to the youth-obsessed exhilaration of the Sixties, the Fifties was a thrilling decade devoted to newness and freshness. The British people, rebuilding their lives and wardrobes, demanded modern materials and exciting prints inspired by scientific discoveries and modern art. Despite the influence of glamorous Paris couture home-grown fashion labels including Horrockses and Norman Hartnell had an equally great, if not greater impact on British style. This book, written by an assistant curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum, is a fascinating look back to the days when post-war Britain developed a fresh sense of style.
