Narrow Gauge in North Caernarvonshire: West

Fascinating history of a set of narrow gauge railways that the author actually rode and chronicled during World War II before the harsh realities of peacetime economics all but obliterated them. Provides an engaging and detailed look at the Nantlle Railway, the Snowden Mountain Tramroad, the Pwllheli & Llandbedrog Tramway, and the South Beach Tramway. The history of each line is fleshed out with letters and oral reminiscences. The Appendix describes the tramways used by each of the numerous quarries in Nantlle Vale, the Llanberis (Southwest) District and the Lleyn Peninsula. Illustrated throughout with beautifully drawn maps and black and white photos. 272 pages.
