EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a sunny day in Ashington, on the 10th of March 1965. Standing proudly at County Technical College is an impressive steam roller, emanating power and history from its every pore. Its massive engine dominates the frame, showcasing the remarkable engineering prowess of the era. The scene exudes a sense of leisurely pastimes and hobbies as we see only one person nearby, presumably taking a moment to admire this magnificent piece of machinery. The unknown age of this individual adds an air of mystery to the image, leaving us wondering about their connection with such a vintage contraption. A spade resting against the steam roller hints at ongoing maintenance or perhaps even restoration work being carried out by dedicated enthusiasts who appreciate these mechanical marvels. The steam rising from its chimney creates an ethereal atmosphere that transports us back in time when these traction engines were commonplace. Preserved through time by Memory Lane Prints, this photograph captures not just a machine but also nostalgia for an era long gone. It serves as a reminder of our industrial heritage and sparks curiosity about how life must have been during those days when steam rollers roamed freely across towns like Ashington. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it invites us to reflect on progress while appreciating the beauty found within relics from our past.
