Synopsis
In the latest "Nostalgia Road" book to deal with emergency service vehicles, Ron Henderson describes the post-war fire brigades and appliances that have served the four counties of Cleveland, Durham, Northumberland, and Tyne and Wear. Superbly illustrated with over 100 photographs from either his own collection or those of his associates, it admirably describes how significantly fire appliances have developed over the last 50 years. It also shows how successive mergers have resulted in larger brigades with much more standardised fleets, compared to the variety and individuality that existed at the end of the war.
