He wrote and performed a work titled “A Record Run”[1] at a special dinner given by Wilson Worsdell Esq. J.P. M.I.M.E. to the retired officials and engine drivers of the N.E.R. Co., in Gateshead, on 11 February 1910
The song belongs to a surprisingly small group of North East humorous railway songs (remembering that the area was the birthplace of the Railways) and describes a journey from South Shields to Newcastle
A. J. W. Dawson published a six-page chapbook titled “A Record Run”, printed by the Tyne Printing Works Limited, a copy of which is held in the archives of Gateshead Council
