EDITORS COMMENTS
To a casual passer-by, this print captures a glimpse of an intriguing sight in Newbottle, County Durham back on the 4th of February 1964. What appears to be a small area off the village square reveals itself as nothing short of a steam rollers graveyard from yesteryears. The derelict engines scattered across the scene evoke nostalgia for an era when these magnificent machines were at their prime. In the backdrop of this vintage photograph, one can't help but wonder about the stories behind each abandoned traction engine. Once symbols of progress and power, they now stand silently as remnants of bygone days. This snapshot offers us a window into pastimes and hobbies that have since evolved or faded away entirely. The image invites us to reflect on leisure activities during the 1960s – perhaps enthusiasts gathered here to marvel at these mechanical wonders or even engage in restoration projects. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with machinery. Preserved through time by NCJ's lens, this print transports us back to an era where steam ruled supreme. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of how far technology has advanced but also how important it is to cherish our history and preserve relics that tell its story.
