Bygone East Ham
East Ham was sparsely inhabited in the fourteenth century and had not changed much with the advent of the railway in the 1850s. Farmers and market gardeners grew crops for the 'distant' London market, their houses scattered thinly from Wanstead flats in the north to just south of the turnpike road. A phenomenal transformation came in the second half of the nineteenth century as the demands of Britain's growing industries and population led to the use of land for factories and, eventually, to a house-building boom. Fortunately, photos of these amazingly rapid changes have survived to add great impact to this narrative of East Ham's past. Brian Evans captures the rise of East Ham from an area of fields and marshes to a county borough by 1914. Bygone East Ham will fascinate all who know the place whilst adding greatly to our understanding of the making of the present district.

Brian Evans Is... the Trans-Dimensional Space-Time Continuum Repair Man
Brian Evans is dead, but... Brian Evans is also dead lucky! The Supreme Being in His Infinite Wisdom has allowed Brian to serve his purgatorial sentence as a Trans-Dimensional Space-Time Repair Person - a time travelling, freelance Fate Adjuster whose job it is to zip around the universe causing, enabling or preventing the millions of incidents that keep time, space and fate in order, following The Supreme Being's Great Cosmic Plan. Brian has been given one final repair - the successful completion of which will enable him to at last pass over into the Great Light of the Bliss Eternal and become thought in The Great Cosmic Mind Of The Supreme Being. On the face of it, Brian's last mission seems to be a piece of cake, but it's not as simple as he at first imagines. Join afterlifer Brian as he probes the mysteries of God, the universe, life, death, love, sex and parking spaces while trying his damndest to get into the knickers of suicidal Sonia Smith, a 22 year old wank-line 'telesales' person.

Walks are between 2 and 8 miles in length and visit nature reserves including Leighton Moss RSPB reserve, follow the canal and explore the shoreline. Summits include Wharton Crag, Arnside Knott, Farleton Knott and Hutton Roof Crags. The combinations of rocky coastal scenery, woodland and rough limestone hills either side of the M6 in north Lancashire, make this a paradise for walkers.
