The Quest For England - In Which I Discover the Magic of the Daddy Long Legs Railway
197
Dumpman is back! Today I have taken a trip to Brighton Beach at the
crack of Dawn to meet up with Chris Bedford, AKA, Dumpman. We are
exploring the remnants of the Magnus Volk's electric 'Daddy Long Legs'
railway - half train, half boat that ran at the end of the 19th Century.
Brighton and Rottingdean Seashore Electric Railway opened 28 November
1896, but was nearly destroyed by a storm the night of 4 December. Volk
immediately set to rebuilding the railway including the Pioneer, which
had been knocked on its side, and it reopened in July 1897.
Dumpman explore disused railways and sells wonderful DVDs of his
adventures. Check out his catalogue on his website here:
