Horse Tramway Booklet
Douglas Bay Horse Tramway
A Look Behind The Scenes
Barry Edwards
£9.99 Each
A fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of this unique tramway which operates along the promenade of the capital of the island, having done so since 1876 and still going strong. Take a look into the stables complex at Strathallan Crescent and meet the famous "trammers". This glossy A4 publication is richly illustrated and provides the reader with an interesting look into how the tramway operates largely unchanged for over one hundred and fifty years. In recent times several of the iconic "toastrack" trams have been fully restored to award winning condition and the tramshed building completely reconstructed for the twenty-first century. Copies are available at all of the railway retail outlets.
