M. E. (Martin E.) Haworth

M. E. Haworth, also published as Captain M. E. Haworth or Martin E. Haworth, was a 19th-century author whose best-known work is Road Scrapings: Coaches and Coaching (1882). Contemporary catalog records and digitized editions consistently connect him with that book, which explores British coach travel, horses, roads, and the culture that grew up around them.

Another scarce earlier book, The Silver Greyhound (1880), is described in bookseller and catalog listings as a work of travel and adventure by a retired English military officer. That fits the tone of Haworth's writing: observant, anecdotal, and clearly shaped by firsthand experience.

Today, Haworth is mainly read for the window he opens onto everyday movement in the 19th century. For listeners who enjoy transport history, memoir-like storytelling, and the textures of Victorian life, his work offers both information and atmosphere.
