For over 200 years Waltham Abbey was one of the
UK's premier sites for the development of rocket
motors, gun propellants and explosives. From Congreve's "rockets red glare" to launching
satellites into orbit, Waltham Abbey did them all. Protected by the Official Secrets Act much of its
work still remains classified, but what was it like
to work there, to be one of Britain's boffins? This book gives accounts from some of the
scientists and engineers who worked there during
the White Heat of Technology and the Cold War
era.
