History

The sixties boys

Following the runaway successes of Alan Hammond’s first six books on the Somerset & Dorset Railway, this volume follows the same winning formula, with emphasis placed on the people who worked on the railway as much as on the locomotives and buildings themselves. With a foreword by well-known television personality Jools Holland, and lively text packed with anecdotes of railway pranks and fun, accidents, and strange happenings, this book is a must have for all S&D enthusiasts! There are accounts of working on the line, of train crews struggling to cross the Mendips, and most importantly, of people going about their daily lives. These stories are accompanied by some of the most fascinating photographs yet assembled, many of which capture scenes of the everyday life of the railway staff. Essential reading for all those keen to learn more about this famous line, and ideal for the many who wish to add this volume to their collection.

Following the success of the first volume of Alan's memoirs, the sequel takes readers into 1967, Radio 1, and beyond. Nick and Steve continue their capers and many of the hilarious characters from the first book reappear. Their band, Modern Edge, is still touring-from Clacton to Hastings, Manchester to Reading, Bergen to Amsterdam-and finally appears on TV and in the charts. This new title provides plenty of pranks, escapades with girls, run-ins with the law, and many an uncomfortable night spent sleeping in their van, skint as ever-and all told in Alan's inimitable, racy style. A thrilling read, once started you will not be able to put it down!

Memoirs

Ian Allen Pub

Dufty Dufty Popple & Dunn is a traditional solicitors' firm in the small Midlands town of Hockam (pronounced Hokum, as the local residents are at pains to point out). This heart-warming collection of stories revolves around the lives, relationships, triumphs and failures of the good people of Hockam and of the lawyers to whom they look for help. We meet the lonely dentist and his noisy neighbours, the TV celebrity chef and his complex family, the policeman and his beloved budgies, the Vicar and the Major General, the greedy beneficiary of an uncle's Will. These and many others bring their problems to Dufty Dufty Popple & Dunn to be resolved by the long-suffering and well-meaning members of the firm, all of whom have their own lives to live when time permits, from Bernard, the hapless trainee, to Hugo Dufty, the nominal senior partner. And then, of course, there are the ever-present rumours concerning Robert Popple, the former partner who departed from the firm some years previously in mysterious circumstances. The whole symphony of life portrayed here is conducted with gentle humour and charm by Hugo's father, Charles Dufty, who founded the firm fifty years ago and whose wisdom and deep understanding of the human condition helps to make sense of even the most difficult and apparently insoluble problems. In this humorous and touching debut collection, Alan Hammond paints a timeless portrait of life in a rural English town. Welcome to Hockam.
