It was often joked that Swindon Works'' men came with ''GWR'' stamped on their bottoms, so much so that even in the BR era they considered themselves Great Western! Those who worked ''Inside'' as locals called it, possessed a fierce price in their work and in their worldwide reputation. Using material from numerous interviews with workshop men and women as well as official documents, Swindon expert Rosa Matheson examines the differences of each era - GWR / BR; conditions in the Works; the idiosyncrasies of work practices, such as odd names of jobs like ''holder-upper'' and generational family work histories.
She also explores the relationships between the workers - men ad women, shopfloor and management, foremen and men and especially ''Loco'' versus Carriage and Wagon! Whilst many books have been written about the Works, few, if any, have given a chance to those who worked in its workshops to have their voices heard in the telling of that story. This beautifully illustrated book uses their words and experiences to tell the good, the bad and the ugly of working Inside.
