Fathom Press Fathom Press was formed in 2007 initially as vehicle to publish the two books that came out of the Heritage Lottery funded Unravelling Barton Ropery Project, Ropeworks and Family Ties. It has since developed and published Article Magazine, a free monthly guide to arts and culture in Northern Lincolnshire and with a natural association with Fathom Writers it has sponsored and published the Fathom Prize anthology of creative writing: the second edition Fathom 10 was published in November 2010. In 2009 Fathom Press made further inroads into the heritage field by assisting Geoffrey Bryant of the former Barton Workers’ Educational Association History Group to continue to publish his series of The Later History of Barton. Roads, Coaches and Carriers by Darren Stockdale and Geoffrey Bryant was published in December 2009. The next publication, a history of cycle making in Barton: Elswick-Hopper of Barton on Humber by Nigel Land will be the first book to be published in hardback and will be available from February 2011.
