In 1969 Mr Albion Harman, the last owner of Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel, died. His surviving two sisters, faced with a challenging future of running the island, put Lundy up for auction. An appeal fund for 150,000 was started but unfortunately failed to raise sufficient funds. At the last minute of the auction Jack Hayward (later Sir Jack Hayward) bid the asking price and bought the island. He immediately donated it to the National Trust, who in turn leased it to the Landmark Trust, who still manage it and look after this amazing wildlife and marine conservation area. In 2019 the National Trust and Landmark Trust celebrate those 50 'Landmark Years'.Following on from the success of 'Lundy Through Time', and at the request of the Landmark Trust, author Simon Dell has written this book looking back at those 50 years and charting the significant changes in that time.

Dell, Simon: - Simon Dell fell in love with Lundy Island on his first visit at the age of 8, and has been returning on a regular basis for the past 40 years. He leads guided walks there, and is a member of the Lundy Field Society. He is a Dartmoor National Park Guide, a member of the National committee of the Police History Society, and a member of the Devon & Cornwall Police Museum Committee. He has published nine books on policing, as well as Dartmoor Prison and industrial archaeology, and has written for various Dartmoor magazines and periodicals and The Times Educational Supplement. In 1997 he was awarded an MBE for his work with Dartmoor Rescue Group and services to the community of Tavistock.
