Doncaster's Plant Works was established in 1853 by the Great Northern Railway Company.
Always referred to simply as 'The Plant', it has built and repaired numerous carriages, wagons, and locomotives including the renowned Flying Scotsman and Mallard.
Well-known local author and journalist, Peter Tuffrey, has compiled an affectionately illustrated record of the Plant in Voices from Doncaster Plant Works, preserving the memories of the men and women who worked there or were associated with it.
The Plant is still in part existence today and its importance to Doncaster cannot be overstated.
Packed with photographs, many previously unpublished, and assembled from interviews with many of its staff over the years - from managers, fitters, electricians, secretaries and canteen staff - this book is sure to appeal to railway enthusiasts, local history buffs and past and present Plant Works staff alike.
