British Railways Apprentice Paper

This was one of the items brought to the BBC Suffolk event at Ipswich Museum on Tuesday, 16 February, 2010.

Valerie Packer treasures her husband's apprentice paper for a prestigious scheme for British Railways in Swindon.

In order to gain a place on the apprenticeship, both his parents had to sign a code of conduct promising their son would behave himself during the scheme.

The apprenticeship was tough to get onto and good grades at school were essential.
