The Last Years of Steam Around the Midlands

Book Description
ALAN MAUND lived in Worcestershire all his life and had an enthusiasm for steam. He traveled extensively in Britain and built up a large railway photographic archive from the late 1950s onwards. This book is made up entirely of Alan's collection of photographs from across the Midlands. It will appeal to railway enthusiasts, modelers, and those with an interest in local history. Alan started using color film in 1959, and color slides make up the majority of these photographs. Many enthusiasts in this era had a policy of filming steam only and ignoring the new diesel interlopers, but not Alan; diesels do make appearances, and so do some early electric classes. A particular passion of Alan's was small industrial steam locomotives, and he restored a Kerr Stuart 'Wren' class 0-4-0 to working order between 1959 and 1961. So in addition to larger British Railways locomotives, their smaller relations are also seen across the Midlands. Alan passed on in 1983 and his widow, Wendy, gave Alan's collection of railway photographs to filmmaker and author Michael Clemens, whose late father was a friend of Alan's. Alan's collection lives on today at film shows around the country and now in this book.

A waterside cottage that overlooks the beautiful estuary with its golden sandy beaches is just what he needs to start this new phase of his life.

Adam becomes involved in events at the core of coastal community life. He joins the lifeboat crew where he experiences high drama and deep tragedy. He is also drawn into the darker side of Daymouth life involving drugs and migrants, resulting in tension and uncertainty about who is involved. As the story moves to an exciting climax on the Cotes d'Azur, Adam meets a Polish billionaire benefactor who wants to finance the UK West Country... But will the police be able to identify the drug and migrant mastermind disrupting the Daymouth peace?
