EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Ronald Shephard Collection, we are transported back to the Liverpool & Manchester Centenary Celebrations of 1930. The star of the show is undoubtedly the iconic locomotive "Lion" which gained fame in the 1950s comedy "The Titfield Thunderbolt". As part of these momentous railway centenary celebrations, a replica train was pulled by Lion on a circular track at Wavertree Playground in Liverpool. The attention to detail was impeccable, as even the operating staff donned period dress, adding an authentic touch to this nostalgic event. Passengers had the opportunity to relive history for just a shilling for First Class and six old pence for Third Class fares. It must have been quite a thrill for both young and old alike as they embarked on this enchanting journey through time. This remarkable photograph captures not only Lion's grandeur but also showcases the enthusiasm and dedication put into recreating such an important milestone in railway history. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with trains and their integral role in shaping our world. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's archives, this image stands as a reminder of how communities come together to commemorate significant events while preserving cherished traditions. Let us cherish these moments frozen in time and appreciate all those who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep our heritage alive.
