Journey through Exmoor’s steam railway past at the Dulverton Literary Festival.
We join Lucy welcoming Freddie, Ian and Amyas to the microphone. Grab a cuppa and settle down...
It was a pleasure to meet and chat to Freddie Huxtable, Ian Coleby and Amyas Crump as they shared their contagious enthusiasm for steam railways. These three authors have each painstakingly researched books on the history and impact of the railways Exmoor and surrounding areas. In this 30-minute chat, the trio cover a lot of ‘track’, from the transformative effect of freight on our everyday lives to the creation of the British package holiday, a blueprint for the NHS and even for insurance!
There’s nostalgia, romance, and business packed in this pod. And for anyone who is preparing a presentation, they provide a sneaky reveal into their own very different approaches for preparing for a presentation!
The books they discuss are:
Freddie Huxtable: The Taunton to Barnstaple Line
Ian Coleby: Tales of the West Somerset Railway
Amyas Crump: Impermanent Ways: The Closed Lines of Britain
