The publication of this book coincides with the 50th anniversary of the closure of the Axminster & Lyme Regis Light Railway linking Axminster on the SR main line in Devon to Lyme Regis in Dorset. For centuries Lyme Regis was noted for its beautiful setting, and continues as 'a gem of the Dorset coast'. Whilst the majority were attracted by the natural beauty of the area, its coastline, sea and sand, on the border of the counties of Devon and Dorset, for the railway enthusiast the appeal was to travel behind veteran Adams 'Radial' locomotives, which had been used on the branch for five decades. Then, the Beeching Report of 1963 stated that closure was under consideration. Objections to the line's closure were overruled and the last trains ran on 28th November, 1965. This publication looks at this fascinating railway in detail.
