EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Aveling & Porter Road Roller 14083, affectionately named "Aevlyn," built in 1930. The vintage road roller, manufactured by the renowned Aveling & Porter company, is a testament to engineering innovation during the early 20th century. With a registration number of DG 1372 and a classification of AD, this compact yet powerful machine boasts compound cylinders and an NHP (Nominal Horsepower) of 4. The image captures the essence of the 1970s and 1980s, as the weathered appearance of the roller and its surroundings suggests a bygone era. The rustic charm of the scene is further emphasized by the overgrown vegetation and the absence of modern machinery in the background. Aevlyn, with its intricate design and robust construction, was likely cherished by its owners for its ability to maintain and improve the quality of roads. Despite its industrial purpose, the road roller's timeless appeal lies in its elegant lines and the craftsmanship that went into its creation. This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when machines like Aveling & Porter Road Roller 14083 played a crucial role in shaping our infrastructure and leaving a lasting impact on our communities.
