The Bessbrook and Newry Tramway, by A.T. Newham
Published by Stenlake in 2020, 48 pages. Rectangular Paperback - 17cm by 24cm (N7819)
Brand New Book
First published in 1979 and unavailable for decades this little book has been reformatted as a landscape book. The Bessbrook & Newry Tramway was a narrow gauge line operated on the hydro-electric principle and built to transport coal and flax from the Newry quays to the Bessbrook Spinning Mills, finished goods in the reverse direction and mill workers. It opened in October 1885 and closed in January 1948. This little book is packed with information including the background to construction and opening, equipment, description of the line, operation (and mishaps), rolling stock, tickets and closure. Four maps and gradient profiles are also included.
Please note their is a price printed and a small price sticker, both on the rear side cover
When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
