Charles John Bowen Cooke, CBE, was born in Orton Longueville (then in Huntingdonshire), England, and was Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) of the London and North Western Railway (LNWR). He was the first to add superheating to the locomotives of the railway. Whilst CME of the LNWR he was responsible for the introduction of several new locomotive designs, including the George the Fifth and Claughton classes. He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1918 New Year Honours for his efforts during the First World War.
