This booklet has been issued as a tribute to William Henry Allen (1844-1926).
 
While providing a brief history of Queens Engineering Works and the growth of the works within Bedford, the main focus here is on the life of William Henry Allen, his funeral, memorial service and a memorial plaque unveiled in his honour.
 
Using text from local press reports of the time together with pictures and articles from the company’s own Queens Engineering Works magazine, it tells the story of Mr. Allen’s many personal and engineering achievements
