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.
