Railways of Mann - Scene & Unseen by Phil Barnes
The railways of the Isle of Man offer a fascinating insight into public transport in the Victorian era. This small island in the Irish Sea is home to no fewer than seven operating railways and tramways, as well as a transport museum and railway relics preserved 'in situ'. The author, a well known transport photographer, undertook a tour of the island in 2019, and was granted privileged access behind the scenes to areas usually off limits to the general public. The result, published here, is a comprehensive illustrated survey of the island's lines, which will prove a valuable historical record, particularly of the Douglas Horse Tramway, which was going through a major transformation at the time of the visit.
In 1971 Phil Barnes was the youngest recipient of the Jacques Cartier Craftsman of the Year award. He designs and makes his own pieces, which can be found in private collections around the world.
