The Hendre Ddu Tramway - Blue Stones and Green Trees

This book tells the story of the place, the people and the tramway that connected them. Sourced from multiple archives, private notes and expert interpretation, it gives a comprehensive view of the development, expansion and ultimate demise of the Hendre Ddu Tramway. Each of the quarries is covered in detail, and the long-forgotten forestry operations are described. The line’s unusual rolling stock and permanent way is explained and drawn, and its operating methods are reconstructed. The book is illustrated with previously unseen family photographs, comprehensive modern photography, and detailed maps and diagrams.
