A Malmesbury Railway Companion

The author has been researching the history of this GWR branch for nearly half a century. His 1990 publication received acclaim for the thoroughness and depth of the approach, but far from ‘completing the story’ of this 61/2 mile Wiltshire railway, it opened fresh avenues of research, elicited contact from folk with more photographs and memories, and highlighted topics deserving of further attention. Intriguingly, it led Mike to interview many more people who had a story to tell. The 1990 volume took some fifteen years to complete. This work containing all new material is the fruits of a further thirty-two.
