Western Memories

This new book by successful author Mike Jacobs, is an unashamed exercise in nostalgia. Having left the Southern area in the early 1960s, Mike's life and his travels took him former GWR territory, where he freely admits he was surprised that some of the products coming out of Swindon and Paddington were really rather good! This was a time when change was gathering pace and so armed with his camera he travelled the Western region visiting as many places as possible and recording everything he could. The results make for what can only be described as 'joyous' reading.
