A railway enthusiast turned author will be visiting Burnham-On-Sea next month to sign copies of his new book.
Alan Hammond will be signing copies of ‘Heyday of the Somerset & Dorset Railway’ at the Tourist Information Centre on Burnham’s Esplanade on Saturday May 3rd from 9.30am to 1pm.
This is the sixth book in the Alan Hammond series on the West Country’s much-loved branch line, which originally came into Burnham and Highbridge.
Annette Haggett, Burnham’s Tourist Information Manager, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Alan Hammond back to the Tourist Information Centre. His books are popular with both local residents and visitors alike.”
Prince Michael of Kent, a keen engine driver himself, has written the foreword and there are contributions from singer Tony Christie and Michael Eavis, organiser of the Glastonbury Festival. More details about the book are available here.
