Paperback. Condizione: New. The Great Western Railway's Swindon Works was the largest employer in the area, even during the early British Railway years. For well over a hundred years thousands of apprentices and 'trainees' passed through its doors to learn the trades of the railways. Throughout its lifetime the apprenticeship process was hard work with many constraints, particularly in the early periods when even marriage was forbidden. However, alongside the hard work of 'doing time' (a colloquial term for apprenticeship), there were undoubtedly good times as the young boys were absorbed into the 'family' of workers 'Inside' (as Swindon Works was known locally). Doing Time Inside chronicles the changes of the apprenticeship process from its earliest times during the Industrial Revolution; through the varied work of two world war periods; the changes of thinking and policy in the post-war era; the significant developments of the 1960s; and the decline of apprenticeship until the closure of the Works in 1986. Full of fascinating photographs and documents, many previously unpublished, as well as numerous engaging first-hand accounts of the different 'apprenticeships' on offer, the books presents an in-depth study of apprenticeship in the railway world.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - GRW's Swindon Works had a proud reputation. The boast was 'if you had worked in Swindon Works, you could get a job anywhere!,' and that meant anywhere in the world. The Works was referred to by locals as 'Inside,' and thousands of men did 'time Inside' for eleven decades until the swinging '60s brought changes to the way young boys trained to become 'modern' journeymen with flexible skills. Apprenticeship, when a young man was bound over to a master for years, was hard work and came with a lot of history and baggage. In early years the conditions and rules were awesome--including no marriage and no letting harm come to your master--but when the old ways were abandoned did it lose much of its ritual mystique Doing Time Inside expresses the collective voices of the Swindon apprentices, recording the life of apprenticeship, and how it changed, the differences between apprenticeships, the good times and the rotten jobs. Including many first-hand accounts and unpublished photographs, this fascinating book will appeal to the thousands of workers who remember this period with affection.…
