Born in Walsall, Staffordshire, Webb developed an interest in trains as a child; he traveled by rail to school. He wrote many books on British  and other countries trams and tramway systems, while working for his family's firm, James Webb and Sons, of Bloxwich, which he joined in 1935 and from which he retired as Managing Director in 1986.
