Magazine index

In 1989, L&BR Association Dutch member Hans Vink produced the first L&B website. In 2004, Hans explained: To develop my skills as a website builder I made some pages about the L&BR, as I thought the whole world should know about the beautiful little railway that was about to emerge from its ashes as a phoenix. I can certainly identify with those sentiments! A key feature of the site was an L&B Magazine article index, which catalogued highlights of Magazines 24 (Winter 1987) to 56 (Autumn 1998), and was incorporated into the first "Official" web site in 1999. The list is included here, expanded to include earlier publications, and those published since.

Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Trust magazines

Member Bob Barnard has also produced a complete index as an Excel speadsheet.  Bob’s index is fully cross-referenced by edition, title, author and category, and also includes details of regular items such as Chairman’s messages, letters, "Then and Now" and "Memories", not included in the Hans Vink index. Bob’s index is available, by post or email, in return for a £10 donation to the Trust.  Bob also issues updates by email every year or so to purchasers.

There is a sample of the full Index here. For further information, please contact Bob by email or, to order a copy, send Bob a cheque (his address is in the L&B magazine Area Groups page).

Some back numbers are still available from Woody Bay or from area Group sales stands, and all the early publications have been republished in two A4 comb-bound volumes, "Newsletters, Nos. 1 - 14" and "Magazines, 15 - 25". These are available from Woody Bay, along with a more comprehensive and detailed printed version of the index. Prices and further details from Woody Bay. Volume 3 (containing Magazines 26 - 35) is currently in preparation.
