Ernest Marples

The Shadow Behind Beeching

David Brandon , Martin Upham
Ernest Marples (1907–78) was a minister in the Conservative governments of the 1950s, best known for commissioning the notorious Beeching Report that axed many rural railways. This biography explores his Lancashire upbringing and Army service before examining his role in three government departments, Housing, the Post Office, and Transport, and his subsequent business career that ended in his flight to Monaco to escape the Inland Revenue.
