Rediscovering British Traction
Having enjoyed trainspotting as teenager, Nick Sanderson’s interest was reignited during the Covid-19 pandemic and armed with a new digital camera has flourished since then. Beginning with local freight in the Leeds area and then branching out further afield to popular freight hotspots such as Barnetby and Acton Bridge, here he offers a vivid pictorial celebration of British traction. The journey continues taking in a wide variety of locations across the network in England and Wales. Captured in many different liveries, a large number of classes of locomotive are illustrated from the reliable 08 shunter, through classic traction such as the Class 37s and 47s to modern locomotives such as the Class 68s and 88s, demonstrating the wide range that can still be found on the rail network today.This book offers a superb array of images that create a fascinating overview of current operations as well as documenting the author’s journey rediscovering British traction.
Secret Barnet and Hadley
The town of Barnet grew up in the 12th century to the north of London. The town’s alternative nameS of Chipping Barnet or High Barnet are recognition of the market that was established there at the same time and the town’s elevation. Today the town and the integral area of Hadley adjoining Barnet are part of Greater London. This was the site of the Battle of Barnet in 1471, which was one of the key battles of the Wars of the Roses. Barnet’s position along the old Great North Road brought a large number of inns to cater for travellers, including Ye Olde Mitre Inn which was first recorded in 1553 and still stands today. Evidence of the lives of everyday folk through the centuries can still be discovered beneath the surface of today’s Barnet and Hadley, from numerous blue plaques for the rich and famous to workhouses, hospitals and alms-houses.With tales of remarkable characters, unusual events and tucked away or disappeared historical buildings and locations, Secret Barnet and Hadley will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of this distinct area of North London.
Churches of Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire is a large county that historically has been relatively unexplored. Yet its legacy of historic churches is as rich as any county in England. Mediaeval Lincolnshire owed its wealth – and churches - to maritime trade and wool production and the influence of a myriad of monasteries and its cathedral. However, changing economic conditions have also seen depopulation and remote churches remind us of communities which didn’t survive. As populations moved to towns and manufacturing centres during the Industrial Revolution, new churches were built and all these changes are represented in the parish churches of the Lincolnshire, which range from large Saxon structures at Barton upon Humber, tiny Norman churches like Coates by Stow, through grand wool churches at Swineshead and Gedney to a Georgian gem at Oxcombe. All these are among the selection of characteristic Lincolnshire church buildings from across the county that are described and illustrated in this book.This fascinating picture of an important part of the history of Lincolnshire over the centuries will be of interest to all those who live in or are visiting this attractive county in England.
Kent's Pilgrim Routes
Thanks to Chaucer and his Canterbury Tales, the path along the North Downs to Thomas Becket’s shrine in Canterbury Cathedral is the most famous pilgrim route in the world. Yet there is another Canterbury pilgrim path that is 600 years older - the Augustine Camino that runs from Rochester via Canterbury to Ramsgate. It venerates St Augustine, who brought Christianity to Kent in 597AD, and takes in the place he landed as well as the two cities where he built cathedrals. In recent years St Augustine’s central place in England’s religious and cultural history has been marked formally by a new shrine dedicated in 2012 to him in St Augustine’s church in Ramsgate. Another pilgrim path is recently re-discovered Old Way, which runs to Canterbury from the south and takes in the lovely pilgrim churches of the Romney Marsh. In this book Andy Bull, who has been researching Britain’s pilgrim paths for many years explores these and many other pilgrim routes in Kent and the historic places and people associated with them.Kent''s Pilgrim Routes: A History of Paths, Places and People will appeal to all those who enjoy walking and exploring Britain’s heritage. Through this book readers and walkers today can explore the full breadth of Kent’s rich pilgrim history and the fascinating history to be discovered en route.
Ilaria
One afternoon in May, 8-year-old Ilaria gets into the car with her father, expecting to go out to dinner with her mother and sister. Instead, she is taken across the border, on a whirlwind road trip around Italy with her father, from Trieste to Rome and Sicily, sleeping in roadside hotels and singing to the radio. But Ilaria's father is unpredictable, and she never knows which version of him she will get: charming and funny, or volatile and drunk. Torn between her life in Geneva with her mother and this strange shifting adventure on the road, Ilaria doesn't know who to side with in her parents' acrimonious separation. Throughout her travels, Ilaria meets a rag-tag cast of characters, learns how to light a cigarette, discovers when is best to keep quiet around her father, and finds comfort in her lovable teddy bear Birillo. Ilaria's voice is singular and powerful. Based on the author's own experience, this deeply moving novel captures the blurred lines between love and harm, memory and reality, fear and wonder. Ilaria is a haunting, intimate coming of age story about a girl who is forced to grow up too soon, and about the fragile moments of beauty she finds along the way.
Dinky Toys Sets and Gift Sets
Frank Hornby established Meccano in 1901 to make metal erector construction sets and produced these at the Binns Road factory in Liverpool, and later also produced Hornby Train sets and accessories named Modelled Miniatures, which later became Dinky Toys in December 1933. The Binns Road factory closed in November 1979 which signalled the end of the ‘proper’ Dinky Toy. This book features, in numerical order, the sets issued by Meccano Ltd as Dinky Toys or earlier as Modelled Miniatures. The sets cover the majority of the range of models produced, including aeroplanes, model figures, trains, army vehicles, commercial vehicles, railway signals, road signs, racing cars, emergency vehicles, Star Wars spaceships, motor cars, television vehicles and even doll’s-house furniture. Many of the boxes that the models were originally sold in are also pictured and captions detail wherever possible the dates of production, length or height of the model as relevant, particular features, price at the time of issue and reissuing number information. Packed with rare and interesting examples, this is an essential read for both enthusiasts and those who are nostalgic for the Dinky Toys of their youth.

The Austen Girls
Jane and Cassandra Austen were the closest of sisters from early childhood. Cassandra was the most important person in Jane’s life; Jane looked up to and adored her older sister, who was devoted to her in return.

The Museum of Unnatural Histories
Whiting Award 2025 Winner in PoetryThis extraordinary debut poetry collection by Dena'ina poet Annie Wenstrup delicately parses personal history in the space of an imagined museum. Outside the museum, Ggugguyni (the Dena'ina Raven) and The Museum Curator collect discarded French fries, earrings, and secrets—or as the curator explains, together they curate moments of cataclysm. Inside the museum, their collection is displayed in installations that depict the imagined Indigenous body. Into this "distance between the learning and the telling," Wenstrup inserts The Curator and her sukdu'a, her own interpretive text. At the heart of the sukdu'a is the desire to find a form that allows the speaker's story to be heard. Through love letters, received forms, and found text, the poems reclaim their right to interpret, reinvent, and even disregard artifacts of their own mythos. Meticulously refined and delicately crafted, they encourage the reader to "decide/who you must become."
