Thomas Spooner Lascelles
From Festipedia, hosted by the FR Heritage Group
Thomas Spooner Lascelles was the great-grandson of James Spooner the surveyor who laid out and supervised construction of the Festiniog Railway. He was a keen railway historian and was President of the Railway Club from 1958 until his death in 1960. In 1956 he presented what is believed to have been the Spooner family copy of the so called "Spooner Album" and this copy, now safely conserved in the Gwynedd Archives, formed the basis for the Roy C. Link publication compiled by FR Archivist Adrian Gray of the same name.[1]
He was a director of W R Sykes Interlocking Signal Co. Ltd., and became its Managing Director in 1953. [2]
