Romney Hythe & Dymchurch, August 1982

A holiday in Kent during the summer of 1982 introduced me to the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway and for a few days I took every opportunity to get to know this fascinating little(?) line.  The accompanying photographs are from that week in Kent and depict a number of locations on this main-line in minature.  I think another serious visitaton is well overdue.
