Levy Langfield, A. and Frederick G. Warne:

Published by F G Warne Limited Bristol, 1934

255pp, fold out map of the Bristol Channel District, fold out plan of Ilfracombe/Weston-super-Mare, thick card covers. The contents are in very good, tight condition. The covers are a little grubby as usual, but are generally in very good order. 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. Seller Inventory # 4566
