Brand New Book

From the rear side cover: Southern Rails on the Isle of Wight is an award-winning innovative history of one of the most loved parts of the British Railway system. Over the course of two volumes it traces the story of the railways on the Island from their birth right up until the present day. The volumes are lavishly illustrated with over 240 photographs in each, many in colour. These include numerous historical shots, as well as those which bring the story up to date...

This book (Volume One), is now in an extended second edition, and concentrates on those lines which formed the constituent parts of the Isle of Wight Central Railway, and also the former Freshwater, Yarmouth & Newport Company. The history of every station is described in detail along with plans, photographs and ephemera.
