EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the statue of Sir Henry Royce, the visionary English engineer and automobile pioneer, standing proudly in Derby's Arboretum, a beautiful public park located near the heart of the city. The statue, which was installed in the Arboretum around the 1920s, is a fitting tribute to the man who co-founded Rolls-Royce Limited, the renowned luxury car manufacturer. Sir Henry Royce (1863-1933) was born in Derby and is celebrated for his engineering innovations and his commitment to producing high-quality automobiles. The statue, which depicts Sir Henry in thoughtful pose, is perched atop a grand plinth, surrounded by lush greenery and ornate ironwork. In the background, the tranquil waters of the River Derwent can be glimpsed, adding to the serene ambiance of the scene. However, the statue's location has changed over the years. In 1972, it was moved from the Arboretum to the River Gardens, where it remained for nearly two decades. In 1990, it was relocated once again, this time to the Rolls-Royce Moor Lane site, where it now stands as a reminder of the company's rich history and its Derby roots. Sir Henry Royce's legacy continues to inspire generations, and this statue is a testament to his enduring influence on the automobile industry and the city of Derby. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to a moment when innovation and engineering were at the forefront of the human spirit.
