William Adams: His Life and Locomotives by John Woodhams
First book dedicated solely to the life and work of William Adams. 2023 commemorates the 200th anniversary of Adams' birth. Publication date coincides with Swanage Railway's hopes to complete the restoration and return to steam of LSWR T3 class no 563 in 2023.
John Woodhams was brought up on the Isle of Wight in the final years of steam, with Adams O2 class locomotives an everyday sight. He became a chartered surveyor, and later a specialist tour operator. He now lives near Canterbury, but still volunteers at the island's Steam Railway, where he enjoys the privilege of working with the last remaining O2\. He has previously written several other titles on railways and local history.
