A motorway visionary and evangelist from the 1930s to his death, and in the role of Lancashire's County Surveyor and Bridgemaster, one of the most vocal and persistent campaigners for an improved road network. His hard work and tenacity paid off, leaving Lancashire with the most extensive and complete motorway network of any part of the UK, most of which was open to traffic by the end of the 1970s. His effect was felt across the country, however, and today he is often referred to as the father of the motorway network.
