Capturing a moment of triumph and nostalgia, this vintage print transports us back to the 1960s when Mr John Arnott Brown achieved an extraordinary feat. On that memorable day of October 3rd, 1967, amidst cheers and applause, Mr Brown ceremonially tore up his L-plates as he passed his driving test on a magnificent 15-ton steam roller. The image showcases not only his accomplishment but also the joy and satisfaction radiating from his beaming smile. In an era dominated by modern traffic, Mr Brown's achievement symbolizes a victory over time itself. As a proud member of the North of England Steam Traction Society, he paved the way for others to follow in his footsteps.

The steam roller stands tall in all its glory - an emblematic representation of power and resilience. Its engine exudes strength while evoking memories of simpler times when steam engines ruled our roads. This snapshot invites us into a world where hobbies like these were cherished pastimes; moments spent indulging in one's passion brought immeasurable happiness.
