BUCKLEY SOCIETY - PUBLICATIONS
The Society has produced a number of publications over the years, and continues to do so, when time and funds allow.
The 2 most recent publications are listed below:
"The Buckley Railway Album"
A collection of over 200 photographs many of which have never previously been published.
They recall the local standard gauge railway that connected the town with the docks on Deeside.
The reader is taken on a nostalgic trip back in time to experience some of the difficulties involved in working this steeply graded, antiquated industrial line. The album charts the journey from Connah's Quay Docks up line through Northop Hall to Buckley and includes views of the industries it served.
Hard back priced at £9.95
Sorry but the 1,000 copies printed all sold out within four months and it would not be financially viable to have a reprint! Some have however already appeared on Internet auction sites such as eBay
In the light of the interest shown in the Buckley railway the Society would like to hear from anyone who may have further photographs or cine film of the railway when it was operational.
