"A Peep into the Past" on-line marks the 50th anniversary of the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society's journal "Paddle Wheels". As the pages become available, you will be able to view the story of paddle steamers and the Society through the pages of Paddle Wheels starting with the very first issue.
Instalments of “A Peep into the Past” were published in Paddle Wheels starting in 1985 and were compiled from the edition which appeared 25 years previously. So the first page takes you back 50 years. Pictures did not accompany the published instalments - indeed there were no pictures in the first few editions. Regular black and white pictures on covers started in 1963. Illustrations have been added and many are taken from the PSPS archive. An insight into this archive, which consists of pictures, handbills, models and much more can be found at www.heritagesteamers.co.uk
Happy hunting!
