| Tells
the story starting from the early years of the Pease family. The establishment
of Banking and the woolen business at Darlington then the formation of S&D
Railways. Later they were to become the largest Colliery owners in the North
of England. The railway was established mainly to transport coal from their
mining interests mainly in the Durham area; later also known as the first
passenger train. Edward was quite rightly known as 'The Father of the Railways';
he supplied the finance when all else failed. Edward later supplied the
finance to establish George Stephenson and his son Robert as the greatest
Engineers in the world, producing brilliant Steam Engines and using their
technique to survey railway routes and build impossible bridges over baron
land. Later the Pease's guided Bolckow and Vaughan to become the Ironstone
Masters of Cleveland, giving them initial guidance and know-how. They even
called off Bailiffs when the partners were in dire trouble. Also incorporated in the book is 'The Edward Pease Diaries', they make intriguing reading of Edwards later life and his visit's to the many Quaker strong areas as senior Elder for the Society, throughout England and even the world. The story ends with Edward's yearning to meet up with his beloved wife in the after life. He visited her resting place in Skinnergate Darlington daily. Available at £6.99 + £1 postage and Packing |
