Does anyone know what is the correct spelling of Caswell/Caswall? Rogerson has "Caswall" but in the Landscape books and just about every other book I have he's just L.T.C... Google searching gives either in various places. Greg 20:39, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
According to his birth certificate he was born on 11th Feburary 1910 at number 7 South View, Eaton Road, Chester. And his name is Lionel Thomas Caswall Rolt. -- PRG Roberts 10:52, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. I've added his full DOB now too. -- Greg 10:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
C.P.Snow is generally credited for the concept of "The Two Cultures", but I found in at least two of Rolt's books serious discussion of this problem, a few years before Snow's. I thought it worth adding a quote to illustrate this and link to Snow's page. But people may differ. There is a whole page devoted to "The Two Cultures", but clearly the idea was in the air so to speak. Rolt situates the origin of the split at around 1850. The "Two Cultures" page says:
As a trained scientist who was also a successful novelist, Snow was well placed to pose the question
and the same can be said of Rolt. -- RobertCailliau 06:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
The bridge (no. 164) bears at least one plaque on an abutment; the one that I've seen (and photographed) is on the left (mooring) side of the canal, and not visible from the road. Is that photo worthy of uploading? I've never actually submitted a photo to Wikipedia before; not sure how to proceed. Resolution is 2048x1536; file size is 1.75MB (actually 1,837,500 bytes). -- Redrose64 ( talk) 16:52, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
The following has been removed from the article:
Celebrations being held in 2010 include:
I think that some of these - particularly the first item - can go back in (amended from future to past tense), as examples of the commemoration: but only if suitable references can be found. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 16:48, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
I'd confirm the changes made by 62.6.160.238: It's Kyle Willans and Tim Carson. Probably my errors. Chris55 ( talk) 10:38, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Article just now says: "His father Lionel had settled back in England in Hay-on-Wye", but Hay-on-Wye is in Wales not in England. Did he really go to Hay (in which case, we need to change "England" to "Wales", or maybe he lived near Hay, but across the border, in which case we need to say something else. What is there now is definitely not right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eurgain ( talk • contribs) 18:56, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

If someone has the sources, it would be good to add a note about the fate of NB Cressy; there's a good blog post, which mentions such source, but which is not itslef a reliable source. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:38, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
@ Johnpacklambert: Re: [1] - Tom Rolt is not a nickname, but the name he used on a day to day basis (hence the name of the locomotive). If we don't specify this, people may think he was known personally as Lionel Rolt, which is not the case. One alternative is to move this article to Tom Rolt (and update any disambiguation as required). Thoughts? — Voice of Clam 16:38, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
