EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Aveling-Barford Road Roller Number 606, affectionately named "Prince of Wales," as it gracefully rolls through the quaint English town of Stamford on June 27, 1970. The steam-powered engine, registration number DTM 538, is a stunning example of transportation history from the 1970s. The Aveling-Barford Road Roller, manufactured by the Aveling and Porter Company, was a common sight on the roads of Britain during the first half of the 20th century. This particular model, Number 606, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time, with its robust design and impressive capabilities. The steam engine's presence in Stamford, a historic market town in Lincolnshire, adds an extra layer of charm to the scene. The town's picturesque streets, lined with half-timbered houses and ancient churches, provide a beautiful backdrop to the industrial marvel. The photograph, taken in 1970, captures a moment in time when steam power was gradually being replaced by more modern forms of transportation. The Prince of Wales Road Roller, with its distinctive shape and puffing plumes of steam, stands out as a relic of a bygone era. The William Kerry Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a treasure trove of historical images that offer a glimpse into the past. This photograph, in particular, is a must-see for anyone with an interest in transport history or the 1970s.
