EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Burrell Tractor number 3458, affectionately named Defiance, during a visit to Wycombe on May 26, 1974. Registration number AB 8795 adorns the side of this vintage Burrell tractor, adding to its distinctive character. The Burrell Tractor Company, based in Glasgow, Scotland, was renowned for manufacturing high-quality steam traction engines and road rollers between 1827 and 1958. Number 3458, Defiance, is a testament to the company's engineering prowess and the enduring appeal of steam technology. The 1970s, a decade marked by social and cultural change, saw a resurgence of interest in preserving historical artifacts, including steam engines. The image captures the essence of this era, with Defiance standing proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery and a clear blue sky. The tractor's intricate design and the steam billowing from its chimney evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where steam power reigned supreme in transportation and industry. The William Kerry Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a treasure trove of historical images that document the evolution of transportation and technology. This particular image not only showcases the beauty and power of Burrell Tractor number 3458, Defiance, but also serves as a reminder of the rich history and innovation that shaped our past.
