New L&B Book now available at Woody Bay

The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Measured and Drawn - a 20 year Labour of Love - A beautiful volume of meticulously prepared and finely detailed drawings describes every detail of the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway, as it was before it's closure in 1935. 

L&B Life Member Steve Philips was at Woody Bay over the Spring Vintage Weekend taking orders for what will be a very limited edition of the definitive book of drawings about everything L&B.  This was the first opportunity to purchase what is the result of over twenty years and thousands of hours of work and painstaking archaeological and historical research.


Locomotives, carriages, rolling stock, the cranes, station buildings, bridges, viaducts, signals and signal boxes, trackwork, water tanks, track plans, maps, equipment and specially illustrated colour livery profiles etc.

This work has been a labour of love for the author, the result is a unique book to be treasured and enjoyed by anyone with an interest in England’s finest narrow gauge railway.

Can be purchased in person at Woody Bay (sorry - not available online through the L&B at present).

Only 1000 printed - Don't miss this opportunity!
