The North East region of England has a unique mix of natural & manmade landscapes, has been at the crossroads of 3 major cultures & has seen the massive growth of the industrial revolution in the 19th century followed by decline in the late 20th century. The natural beauty of the rolling hills of the Cheviots & its spectacular coastline provide tourists with a near-idyllic calm & sense of peace. This contrasts strongly with the shipyards, collieries, factories & petrochemical plants of the Tyne, Wear & Tees rivers. The North East has produced great scholars, industrialists, aristocrats & sportsmen. This book will provide a little insight into all the elements that go to make this a vibrant, exciting, beautiful & historic place. ...

For almost a century, the UK's road network rumbled to the sound of haulage & delivery vehicles almost exclusively made up of trucks built on home soil. From the 1920s right through to the 1960s, British manufacturers became renowned for their production of reliable workaday lorries & quite rightly earned a reputation for quality engineering. The likes of Albion, Commer, Foden & Scammell would eventually become household names, contributing to the country's economic growth. Yet in the 21st century, a truck proudly carrying the badge of a British company is seldom seen & furthermore it is even rarer to find one that has actually been built in this country. Only the very few such as Leyland & Dennis have survived the test of time, albeit in the form of subsidiaries to larger organisations. With over 100 previously npublished images, the Little Book of Trucks charts the history of the King of the Road, from the humble steam wagon to giant diesel-powered articulated juggernauts. ...
