Mitchell and Company

Parts of this volume may appeal to the like-minded railway admirers, although it was written, as a family record, for his grandchildren. It reveals how an early love affair with steam led to an involvement with railway preservation from its outset and eventually to writing full time on railways, but not until after an unusual professional career. Briefs, but with many illustrations, this account is not short of humour, and it explains why he had to start Middleton Press.
