This is a very special volume.

In 1945 Mike Jacobs visited the Isle of Wight for the first time, finding himself captivated by a railway system at the time innocently believed to be concentrated just at Ryde. Further visits followed, including trips on the Island lines to Ventnor, Bembridge, Newport and Yarmouth. Written in a way that can only be described as having a wonderful warmth of feeling, the reader is immediately taken back to those same days: to a time already fast receding into the distance and to a way of life now almost alien.

Illustrated with quality b/w images, most of which have never been published. Printed on art paper. 273mm x 215mm.
