Alan Titheridge, who has previously written books about the Hythe Ferry, Hythe Pier and the iconic Hythe Pier Railway is working on a book about these boats that operated between 1936 and 2014. Alan has a publisher for the book which he hopes to have available during the early summer but is still keen to hear from members of the Waterside community Hotspur II about their personal memories of travelling on Hotspur II, Hotspur III, Hotspur IV and indeed the Hythe Hotspur. Alan is also looking for photographs of the boats and people on the boats that may or may not been previously published. Alan has set up a Facebook page ‘Hotspur Memories’ which is a public forum if any Herald reader can help or a personal message can be posted to Alan on the Facebook platform.
