  • 2020 Book News Welcome to Our 2020 Book News
    2020 Book News Welcome to our 2020 Book News. It’s hard to believe another year has gone by already and what a challenging year it’s been on many fronts. We finally got the Hallmark book launched at Showbus. The Red & White volume is now out on final proof and we hope to have copies available in time for Santa to drop under your tree this Christmas. Sorry this has taken so long but there have been many hurdles to overcome and it’s been a much bigger project than we had anticipated. Several other long term projects that have been stuck behind Red & White are now close to release and you’ll see details of these on the next couple of pages. Whilst mentioning bigger projects and hurdles to overcome, thank you to everyone who has supported my latest charity fund raiser in aid of the Christie Hospital. The Walk for Life challenge saw me trekking across Greater Manchester to 11 cricket grounds, covering over 160 miles in all weathers, and has so far raised almost £6,000 for the Christie. You can read more about this by clicking on the Christie logo on the website or visiting my Just Giving page www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mark-senior-sue-at-60 Please note our new FREEPOST address is shown below, it’s just: FREEPOST MDS BOOK SALES You don’t need to add anything else, there’s no need for a street name or post code. In fact, if you do add something, it will delay the letter or could even mean we don’t get it.

RAIL VERSUS ROAD Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle 8 December 1823 On Sunday, the Ryde Mail Coach, on its way to this town, unfortunately upset, in consequence of the linchpin strap breaking, and although several passengers were on the outside, as well as some inside of the coach, they escaped unhurt, except the coachman, who received a slight bruise. A coach & four outside the Osborne Hotel, Ryde RSHG Archive Map showing the extent of the IW Railways, 1914 RSHG Archive Isle of Wight Times 25 June 1903 – Regarding notices at the Esplanade Gardens. Dogs and Cyclists Beware – Not only are dogs not admitted unless led by a string, but "cyclists" are not permitted in the sacred enclosures. It would be interesting to know how many "cyclists" walk through the gardens in a week, and how many the police capture. A well-known "cyclist" as he passed through the gardens met a "man in blue" and asked if he might continue his walk. The ready reply came "You may, sir, if you take the clips off your trousers". How are lady cyclists to be distinguished, for we do not think they all wear divided skirts? We imagine some of our lady readers resenting the ordeal of being called into a shelter and questioned Isle of Wight Observer 11 September 1852 on the matter. Letter to the Editor.

In August of 2016, Edinburgh Bus Tours launched a brand new, £6.5m fleet of 30 vehicles, specially designed to provide optimal rider comfort and increased visibility from every seat. These buses also are equipped with high‐tech operating systems to ensure safety when motoring around a city with so many steep streets. The new buses are also eco‐friendly. Edinburgh Tours offers three Hop‐on/off‐Bus tours, and one Bus & Boat tour. https://edinburghtour.com/ All four tours “start” at a bus stop on the north end of Waverley Bridge, just a few steps south of Princes Street. Waverley Bridge also is served by several Lothian public bus routes, making it easy to reach the bus tours’ start point from lodgings anywhere within Edinburgh or its surrounding villages. However! You can board one of the three Hop‐on/off‐Bus tours at any stop on its route, purchasing your ticket from the first bus driver you encounter, or activating your online‐purchased ticket voucher. From there you can ride the full route, or hop off and back on as you wish, for the duration of your 24‐ or 48‐hour ticket.
