After studying at Oxford during 1919-20, he became a full-time Labour Party agent in 1923, and was subsequently councillor, mayor and alderman, remaining active in civic affairs to the end of his life. He published his autobiography, 'Sent to Coventry', in 1970, and selected extracts from his correspondence to his wife, whilst studying at Ruskin College, were published as 'A Shop Steward at Oxford' (1980).
