  • Of the Most Celebrated Name in Travel Early Tours and Paris
    Thomas Cook’s Vision On 9 June 1841 a 32-year-old cabinet-maker named Thomas Cook walked from his home in Market Harborough to the nearby town of Leicester to attend a temperance meeting. A former Baptist missionary, Thomas Cook was a religious man who believed that most Victorian social problems were related to alcohol and that the lives of working people would be greatly improved if they drank less and became better educated. As he walked along the road to Leicester, he later recalled, ‘the thought suddenly flashed across my mind as to the practicability of employing the great powers of railways and locomotion for the furtherance of this social reform’. Thomas Cook Archives Thomas Cook possesses a unique collection of archive material covering all aspects of the company’s history from the founder’s first excursion on 5 July 1841 to the present. This material is held in the Company Archives, which functions as a corporate ‘memory’, offering an information service to Thomas Cook’s various departments and providing research facilities for academics, journalists and picture researchers from all over the world. Main Collections • Handbooks, programmes and brochures, 1845-present • Copies of Cook’s Excursionist newspaper, 1851-1902, and At the meeting, Thomas suggested that a special train be engaged to carry its successor, The Traveller’s Gazette magazine, 1902-39 the temperance supporters of Leicester to a meeting in Loughborough • Travellers’ incidental records (ephemera), 1851-present about four weeks later. The proposal was received with such enthusiasm • Travellers’ diaries (originals and copies), 1855-1980 that, on the following day, Thomas submitted his idea to the secretary of • Photographs of premises, staff and travellers, 1860s-1990s the Midland Railway Company.
