ENTHUSIASTS have the chance to get their hands on a new book, signed by the authors, at a special event at Bury Transport Museum.

The Light Rail Transit Association (LRTA) is launching its new book, 'Tramways in Bury', written by Eric Hall and Tony Young.

The launch is at the transport museum, at Castlecroft Goods Warehouse, Castlecroft Road, Bury, on Saturday July 15.

Light refreshments will be served and signed copies of the book will be available for purchase at a modest discount.

Andrew Braddock, chairman of the LRTA, said: "The authors have put together an important contribution to the transport and social history of a significant part of North West England, which we are keen to celebrate with our guests at the Bury Transport Museum."
