Photograph showing some of the LNWR staff employed at Rugby station at the turn of the century. Maurice Collier writes, 'It would seem that the gentleman 2nd from the right, back row could very well be my great grandfather Sam(uel) Collier (born 1850). He worked his way up from the bottom to be a station inspector at Rugby. Due to retire just before the outbreak of the First World War he was asked to stay on until the end of hostilities. Eventually dying in the 1920s. There was an obituary in the Rugby Advertiser and a portrait photo in his inspectors cap. > The photo alongside the previously mentioned one also appears to have him in its midst . . but a lot younger then! > An interesting number of photos and information of Rugby where I was born and grew up . . now in Australia.'
