| Comment | Issued on 18 November 2024, as part of the CILP's Local History Series.
Property developer Frederick Hester established the first Mono-Rail in Essex, England, on Canvey Island in 1902. It was intended to transport prospective bungalow buyers, holiday makers and day trippers down from London, from the mainland railway station to the River Thames Estuary coast via his Winter Gardens and other business interests. However, lack of funds prevented electrification and expansion, and the service was brief, perhaps running for around two years. The stamp features a period photograph of the horse-drawn Mono-Rail complete with visitors and local photogenic dog! This issue has a print run of 160 stamps. |
