Trywhitt's Tramway By Simon Dell

SIMON DELL: Simon has been a regular speaker at The Wharf for some years. He is a retired police officer, having served for over 40 years through five decades and until last year was volunteering at Dartmoor Prison in the chaplaincy department. He speaks on many Dartmoor topics and is always most entertaining.

TALK: Join Simon Dell for his new talk on the Plymouth and Dartmoor Railway, otherwise known as Tyrwhitt's Tramway - a fascinating story of the construction of the horse-drawn tramway from Princetown to Plymouth's Sutton Harbour in the 1820s to become one of the earliest railroads in the UK.
