Hello,
I have started to build a collection of old guidebooks and have made a start on dating them. Unfortunately many of them carry no references to any sort of dates in the early years so I am estimating by the attraction arrivals and departures.
It would seem however that AT decided to add items to their maps in chronological order (i.e. every new attraction was simply added at the next available number) meaning that they are quite easy to put in the correct order (or as I believe!)
#1 1957
#2 1959
- Documents arrival of zoo.
#3 1961
- Post 1960, Pre Chairlifts
#4 1963

- Arrival of Chairlifts
#5 1965
- Post closure of Main line railway station (Jan 1965)
#6 1967
- Sealions are the new attraction
#7 - 1970
Dust Jacket
W/Out dust jacket
#8 - Between 1973 - 1980
As I said, these are all estimates and if anyone could help me with any further information, I will be very grateful.
Regards,
Ben
