For 100 years the indomitable Hythe Pier train has ferried passengers to and from the ferry. In that time it has known conflict, royalty, tragedy and celebration, and has many a story to tell.

In this comprehensive book, author and local historian Alan Titheridge delves into the history of this unique little train, exploring its origins, its challenges, and the multitude of people who have made their mark upon it.

Recognised in the Guinness Book of Records as being the world's oldest operating on a pier, our quirky little green train has been trundling back and forth along Hythe Pier for, as of 2022, a century.

When sold off as redundant plant by the War Office at the end of the First World War, who could have imagined it had a future twenty years into the 21st Century when its clickety-clack sound, an intrinsic part of everyday life in the village, is the "Heartbeat of Hythe".

Where Biblio provide sellers with fixed postage rate tables, there are books that will require much heavier rates in order to cover the postage, we dont charge for the packing, therefore a book of 1kg or more for example will obviously cost more than one at 150g therefore we appreciate the buyer will understand that we may state any extra will be mentioned in the listing or when accepting the order. Our UK fixed standard rate will change when Royal Mail changes the rates while most heavier books will have an extra added to the book price. ALL OVERSEAS orders are weighed and checked against the rates available for that country.

Note our Store photograph is just of a sample bookshelf where none of those books shown are actually those up for sale in our storefront on Biblio or any other site.
