1972 Burrell Northampton Perseverance Purpose
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Burrell General Purpose Engine Number 3262 Perseverance, proudly registered as AH 5278, during its visit to Northampton on the 6th of August in 1972. The Burrell engine, a quintessential symbol of steam transport during the 1970s, was a versatile machine designed for various tasks, from hauling heavy loads to providing power for construction sites. The image captures the engine's raw power and grandeur, with its large wheels and intricate details, such as the ornate boiler and the elaborate control panel, all on full display. The steam engine's distinctive chimney billows out thick plumes of smoke, adding to the sense of motion and energy. The photograph transports us back to an era when steam engines ruled the roads, and their presence was a common sight in the transportation landscape. The 1970s, in particular, marked the twilight years of steam transport, making this image an important historical record. The Burrell General Purpose Engine Number 3262 Perseverance, with its unwavering determination and resilience, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the past. This photograph, from The William Kerry Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of steam transport and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of these magnificent machines.
