Hart, Brian

(Book #ID 111978)

Published by Wild Swan Books Ltd., 3A Upper Lambridge Street, Larkhill, Bath First Edition 2015. 2015.

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original forest green cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back, end paper green railway maps. 4to. 11'' x 8¼''. The Elham Valley Line, published in 1984 by Wild Swan, was intended to be the sole venture into authorship and it is little more than an illustrated tribute to the author's favourite railway line. Following further research and encouragement, Brian Hart felt compelled to delve far deeper into the Elham Valley's history, whereby a truly remarkable story was discovered. This volume describes as much as possible the everyday life of this overlooked railway in all its detail, aided by eye-witness recollections and long-forgotten accounts together with detailed track plans and many nostalgic photographs. Contains 296 pp with monochrome archive photographs, illustrations and track plans throughout. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper. SIGNED by the author to the title page 'Brian Hart.'
