Alan Titheridge once again brings his fascinating insight and local knowledge together for another slice of history. Packed full of photographs from his vast collection, Alan guides the reader on a journey of nostalgia that follows in the wake of countless journies from village to city and back again.
The Hotspur ferry boats that plied the passage between Hythe and Southampton during the post war years still, half a century after their heyday, evoke strong memories and are spoken of with incredible fondness. They were a part of the growing up of those of us of a “certain age”. Despite the oily smell and the diesel fumes, the warmth generated through the engine hatch was a magnet on cold winter days. The chugging sound of the engines is still as vivid as any popular song of the time. The Hotspurs have sadly passed into history but their memory is very much alive.

Alan Titheridge has already made a name for himself as an authority on the Hythe Pier and ferry following the publication of his book, Hythe Pier and Ferry - A History (Ferry Publications, 2019). Alan spent most of his youth on the Hythe shoreline or at the end of the Hythe Pier watching the great liners making their way in and out of Southampton Docks. He was fascinated with the movements of the ferry boats and from an early age they and the pier and train became a special attraction. Now retired, Alan's put his knowledge, passion, and vast collection of memorabilia, anecdotes, and facts about the Hythe Pier, its railway, and boats that operated from it.
