  The discovery of steam-power changed people's lives for ever in Somerset. It fuelled the industrial revolution and was used to drive local mills, mines and trains. Later it brought great changes to the farming and craft industries. Bridgwater author Roger Evans begins with his own local childhood memories of seaside excursions taken and then takes the reader through the era that saw steam as the key to all progress especially to the development of the local railway network.
