EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1920s, the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, are seen standing on the footplate of Southern Railways' latest engine, Lord Nelson, at the railway works in Ashford, Kent. The date is October 1926, and the royal couple are in the town to lay the foundation stone of a new hospital. The Duke, wearing a military uniform with a cap adorned with a feather, and the Duchess, elegantly dressed in a long coat and hat, are deep in conversation with railway officials as they admire the impressive steam engine. The Duke's hand rests on a shovel, ready to scatter coke onto the fire, while the Duchess clutches a posy of flowers. The Duke and Duchess of York's visit to Ashford was an important moment in the town's history, as the new hospital would provide much-needed healthcare facilities for the local community. The occasion was also a significant one for the Southern Railways, as the latest engine, Lord Nelson, was a testament to the company's technological advancements in steam train engineering. The photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the moment, with the Duke and Duchess looking engaged and focused on the task at hand. The steam engine, with its gleaming metal surfaces and intricate machinery, is a symbol of the industrial might and progress of the era. The image is a fascinating snapshot of history, showcasing the connection between the monarchy and the railway industry during the 1920s.
