EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the 4th of October 1971 in London, we witness a momentous event that drew a massive crowd. The ex-Great Western Railways locomotive, King George V, took center stage as it proudly pulled a train showcasing the products of its present owners, The Bulmers Cider Company. This extraordinary exhibition was held at Olympia in Kensington. The scene is bustling with excitement as people from all walks of life gather to witness this remarkable display. A mixed age range can be seen among the medium-sized group of individuals who have come together to admire this magnificent piece of public transport history. Among them are avid train spotters eagerly capturing every detail. As our eyes wander through the photograph, we notice the intricate details surrounding the locomotive. Rails stretch out into the distance while signals stand tall against an overpassing bridge. In the background lies a station buzzing with activity and anticipation for what lies ahead. This snapshot beautifully captures a nostalgic moment from the 1970s when steam engines still ruled the railway tracks. It serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over time and ignites feelings of nostalgia for those who experienced such journeys firsthand. Preserved by NCJ / Topix under Memory Lane Prints, this image allows us to step back in time and relish in an era where steam trains were not just modes of transport but symbols of progress and adventure.
