The Thomas Cook Travel Archive
"The Archive is travel in a microcosm - you don't have to leave home" - J M, Aberdeen.
"Distant cousin of Jemima Anne (1832-1909), daughter of Robert Morrell, banker of Selby, who went on the first Thomas Cook trip to Switzerland in 1863" - Robin G, London
"How easily you forget what depth and detail went into publications - and how mechanisation takes over." - Michael J, Cardiff.
The Travel Archive is at 45 Berkeley Street, London W1A 1EB and is open to the public on Thursdays and Fridays, 11am-3pm, strictly by appointment; call Jill Lomer on 0171-408 4138.
