Publications

The BGS produce regular and "one-off" publications. This section gives details, and has indexes to the News-Sheet and Broadsheet.

Taunton in the 1880s

A chance conversation at a local Model Engineering Club brought this album to light. Most of the photographs were taken at Taunton and it is likely that they were taken in the period 1885-7. The originals are mostly 6"x4" prints and not of the best quality. Some have been published before, but all have been included in the original order.

The following index lists the illustrations in the album (to be added soon). The date column shows the range of possible dates that the photo could have been taken. Many of the photos are of narrow (standard) gauge subjects, and this is indicated in the gauge column.

This book is now unfortunately sold out.
