This lecture is based on the major exhibition held at Danum Gallery Library and Museum during 2024 to celebrate the life and achievements of Sir Nigel Gresley, the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London & North Eastern Railway. Starting with the centenary of the naming of his most famous locomotive Flying Scotsman in 1924, it tells the story of his life and looks at a unique collection of documents, The Gresley Papers, which provide insight to his development as an engineer and his work at Doncaster.
