Sir ALFRED YARROW : Memories of Eighty Years'

on 2LO London and 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

THE first day of the New Year is an occasion for looking backward aa well as forward, and when one gets to the evening of life, looking back becomes more worth while. Sir Alfred Yarrow can look back for more than eighty years; he was born in 1842, into an England that many of us can hardly visualize now. He founded the great shipbuilding business that is now world famous, in Poplar, in 1866, and in tonight's talk he will give some exceptionally interesting reminiscences of the changes that he has seen in the world at large.
