1—' George Hudson—The Railway
King'
Presented by R. S. LAMBERT
This is the first broadcast in a new series planned to give listeners short, graphic lives of eminent Northerners. It is the portrait of the man that is aimed at rather than his activities. What sort of man was he ? What was he like ?
Tonight Richard Lambert , Editor of The Listener, is to discuss George Hudson , the Railway King, who was born at York in 1800, the son of a farmer. First drapery and then banking interested him, and he was a middle-aged man before he became manager of the York and North Midland Railway Company. The end of his career shows that life is very different from a fairy tale, for poor George Hudson didn't live happily ever after.
