Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Volume One of L.T.C. Rolt's classic autobiography In this, the first part of his autobiography, L.T.C. Rolt tells of his childhood in Chester, on the Welsh border near Hay-on-Wye, and in Gloucestershire; of an engineering apprenticeship and career which took him from a farm in the Vale of Evesham to a locomotive works in Stoke-on-Trent and from Dursley to the Wiltshire Downs until he finally settled in a Hampshire village, running a garage specializing in vintage cars. Landscape with Machines is imbued with Rolt's love of England and the English countryside, but also of his endless fascination with machines: steam ploughing engines, steam wagons, steam locomotives, canal boats and a variety of unusual motor cars. AUTHOR: L.T.C. Rolt trained as an engineer, but his fame rests on his classic biographies of Brunel, Telford, Trevithick and the Stephensons, and his superb volumes of autobiography, and transport history. He founded the Inland Waterways Association and was instrumental in encouraging interest in Britain's industrial heritage at Tal-y-llyn and elsewhere. He died in 1975. His son Timothy Rolt continues to promote his work SELLING POINTS: . A new edition of this classic work .
