Andrew Martin
A chance encounter leads young Jim Stringer, a railway porter, to move from Yorkshire to London, enticed by the prospect of becoming a railwayman "of the right sort". But when he arrives in the Waterloo of 1903, it is to discover a world of garish pubs, tawdry brothels and mysterious duties.
