EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to September 1953, where driver Percy Narthin of Bradford, Yorkshire stands proudly beside his immaculate engine. Looking every bit the part with his crisp white shirt and tie, Narthin exudes a sense of professionalism and dedication. The star of the photo is undoubtedly the ex-LMS Fairburn 26-4 tank engine that glistens under the sunlight. Its polished exterior reflects the pride that Narthin takes in maintaining it to perfection. The steam locomotive stands as a symbol of power and progress during an era when trains were at their peak. Narthin's presence adds a personal touch to this snapshot from history. His serious yet confident expression suggests years of experience navigating these tracks. One can only imagine the countless journeys he has embarked upon, transporting passengers across vast distances while ensuring their safety. This image captures not just a man and his machine but also represents an entire era defined by its reliance on steam locomotives for transportation. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology while evoking nostalgia for simpler times when train travel was both romantic and awe-inspiring. Preserved through time by Daily Mirror's Memory Lane Prints collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary moment frozen forever – one where dedication met machinery in perfect harmony on railway yards like this one in Bradford.
