Anyone know any more about this?

The Brook House Railway

"Robert Carlisle mentions that a Mr Mitchell, of Nottingham had the first 7¼" gauge garden railway. Is this the same Guy Mitchell, who actually lived at Grove Road, Totley Rise, Sheffield - only a stones throw from my house and about a mile from the Sheffield Model Engineers' track? There has been quite a bit written about this railway and several photos exist. So could the reference to 'Nottingham' be a mistake or did Mitchell move to Sheffield from there? Watch this space."
