The reminiscences of William Marriott
from 1884 to 1924 An A4 size soft back
booklet, which consists of 40 pages with 26 photographs
and a map of the M&GN system on the inside of the
covers. This book is a first -hand account by William
Marriott of the trials and tribulations of building and
running of what was essentially a country railway. With
some previously unpublished photographs, the book is a
historical railway document, which also gives valuable
glimpses into the social and moral attitudes of the day.
But primarily it is the story of the man that did so
much to build and run The Midland and Great Northern
Joint Railway.
