Peter Morley

Peter Morley was born in England in 1946, in the coldest winter on record, and grew up in a post-war Britain of bomb craters, ration books and National Health orange juice and cod liver oil.

He is a Chartered Engineer, family man and rower. 'Orange Juice and Cod Liver Oil' is his first book written a year after retiring from forty-five years working in engineering and thinking about the social order. Interests now are writing and social history.

An 11+ failure, educated at small country schools and in a 5-year apprenticeship, he eventually obtained an engineering degree as a part-time student and went on to work as design engineer, project manager and group manager of a world class team designing and building process plants for the production of hydrogen and other industrial gases.

As a young man he found his soul mate, they married and together brought up four children who have so far given them seven grandchildren.
