Pullman Craftsmen

Don Carter, Joe Kent, Geoff Hart

This book records the reminiscences of three craftsmen who were employed in the Preston Park Works of the Pullman Car Company during the fifties and sixties. As well as giving the reader a flavour of life in the engineering industry in those times, it also provides a fascinating post-war history of the automobile. The authors record the rise and fall of the company, from 1948 to its decline and ultimate bankruptcy in 1963. In its heyday, the Pullman Car Company proved a valuable asset to the local Brighton economy. This detailed testimony provides valuable insight into the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
