| | As part of the Colonel Stephens empire, the impecunious Selsey Tramway needs little introduction to students of light railways. Now at last we have an extensive well-written and definitive account of this fascinating line which opened in 1897 and miraculously survived various struggles until finally closing in 1935, The 7 mile 61 chain route from Chichester and Selsey Beach is generously illustrated in this comprehensive volume which also details the steam Locomotives, railmotors and rolling stock.
