Beschreibung

243pp, 2 fold out maps, photographs, adverts, illustrated card covers. The contents are in very good condition, with the bottom of pages 211 to 242 damp affected. The boards are in very good condition, with a little grubbiness and wear to the edges. A delightful guide to the West Country & South Wales - for over 50 years Campbell's 'White Funnel Fleet' paddle steamers were to be seen proudly plying the Bristol Channel but by the end of the 1950s the excursion trade was in terminal decline and the company went into receivership in 1959. It was sold as a going concern and limped on with two steamers until the mid-1960s when they were replaced by motor vessels. The final end came in the early 1980s. We carry a number of these guides in stock - see our other listings for details. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 5962
