Romney Remembered

Romney Remembered is the Railway’s newest publication and published by the RH&DR Association. It was launched for the railway’s 75th Anniversary celebrations on July 14th 2002. The book is a collection of personal recollections from people who have been connected with the railway over the last 75 years but mostly for the last 50.

Contributors include John Snell reflecting on the state of the Railway when he took over in 1972. George Barlow recalls how in the early 50’s, the railway pioneered super-heated boilers in the narrow-gauge circle. Dick Hardy remembers his visits to Romney over a number of years.

This book provides a nostalgic look at the railway and is sure to stimulate memories of any reader that happens across this little book. With over 100 pages, including 80 photographs from all eras of the railway’s history (most previously unpublished in a book) this book is a must for every Romney enthusiast and a perfect gift for any train fan.

Priced at only £5.50, this book is available at all RH&DR shops, or by mail-order (+ £2.00p P&P for mail-order) from:

One Man's Railway

A fine book that goes between the lines and facts and figures to provide more hints and insights about the events that gave birth to and shaped the RH&DR. Many fine photographs are also included in this publication which is written by the RH&DRs former Managing Director.

The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway

Drawing on many documents and official records, this has been seen as the 'official' history of the RH&DR, although it is never called that. Many facts and figures (rolling stock, locos, track layouts, visiting locos, locos never built, tickets, etc.), it has a final chapter that brings us up to the the mid-1980's and the purchase of 'John Southland'.

Echoes from the Sky

by Dr Richard N. Scarth
published by Hythe Civic Society

This 270 page book is the result of several years research from primary sources. It includes a detailed study of the main sound collecting devices (including the sound mirrors near to Greatstone and Hythe), 54 illustrations, some from rare archives, and 3 maps. Apart from any contribution to the technical record of defence, this is a story of forgotten scientists, working to design early warning systems before the advent of radar.
