  Synopsis Details Reviews  
Readers of this budget priced book will feel the atmosphere of Keynsham through local personalities and staff. Imagine the heavy smells of smoke and fog mixing with chocolate. All the necessary detail is here, from the first coming of the railway, the arrival of Fry's, the creation of Fry's own railway infrastructure, the freight and passenger services provided for the factory, the growth years, decline, threat of closure and above all a happyending with a buoyant present day scene. The Bristol - Bath route and Keynsham's four other industrial sidings are also comprehensively covered. Author Russell Leitch can clain 50 years of interest in the Bristol area.
