Private Owner Wagons: A Sixteenth Collection by Keith Turton 9781915069221 NEW
Once again the author\u2019s have joined together to create a volume covering a widely diverse selection of Private Owner Wagons. Coverage is across England and Wales and from beer to salt via coal. Each wagon operator is written up as fully as possible and illustrated with all known views of their wagons. The businesses range from the highly successful to the very short-lived, from large companies to the \u2018one man band\u2019. Once again the volume gives an insight into the period when \u2018king coal\u2019 reigned. It was collieries, coal merchants and coal factors that made up the largest section of wagon owners. It adds yet more detail to the social history of a group of tradespeople, often overlooked, who played a huge part in the fabric of society with many coal merchant\u2019s having a big part to play in local politics and some rising to quite high office as documented in other volumes in this series.
