Magnus Volk

Magnus Volk (1851–1937) was a pioneer British electrical engineer. He is most notable for having built Volk's Electric Railway, the world's oldest extant electric railway.〔Jackson, Alan. "Volk's Railways Brighton." (Plateway Press, 1993). ISBN 978-1-871980-18-9.〕 He also built the unique, but short lived, Brighton and Rottingdean Seashore Electric Railway, together with its unusual ''Daddy Long Legs'' vehicle. In 1887 he attracted attention in Brighton by building a three-wheeled electric carriage powered by an Immisch motor. In 1888, he built another electric car this time a four-wheeled carriage which was made to the order of the Sultan of Turkey.〔Georgano, G.N. ''Cars: Early and Vintage, 1886-1930''. (London: Grange-Universal, 1985).〕
Magnus Volk was the son of a German clockmaker and was born on 19 October 1851 in Brighton. He lived at 38 Dyke Road in Brighton. On 8 April 1879, he married Anna Banfield in Burgess Hill. George Herbert Volk, his second son, is noted as a pioneer builder of seaplanes, whilst another son, Conrad Volk, wrote a biography of his father.〔Volk, Conrad. ''Magnus Volk of Brighton''. (London: Phillimore, 1971).〕 His Great Grandson is the musician Joe Volk.
Magnus Volk died in Brighton on 20 May 1937, and is buried at St Wulfran's churchyard in Ovingdean near Brighton.
