Thanks for that recommendation Simon.I bought a copy last Saturday at the Local History Event at the Library..from Carolyn Hammond...and flicking through found it most interesting...with many piccies and diagrams of both the Dock and the Southall to Brentford railway.Isn't the book celebrating the 150th anniversary of the opening of the railway....Brunel's...in 1859?. There is even a picture of a train at Trupter's Halt..now that is rare!Another copy of the book is needed..as mine has been loaned permanently to Cllr Adrian Lee who showed great gushing interest. He, of ChiswickW4.com's ABC Cafe thread, would ..wouldn't he!!
