EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a momentous encounter between Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the curator Dr J. Geraint Jenkins at the Industrial Museum in Cardiff. The year is 1985, and the Queen's visit to Wales brings her face-to-face with an extraordinary piece of history - Trevithick's Penydarren locomotive. As she gazes upon the working replica of this iconic 20th-century train, one can only imagine the sense of awe that must have filled the air. The Queen's deep appreciation for her country's industrial heritage shines through as she engages in conversation with Dr Jenkins, who undoubtedly shares his vast knowledge about this remarkable locomotive. The photograph captures a significant moment not only for British royalty but also for those passionate about preserving our rich past. It serves as a reminder of how crucial it is to honor and celebrate our industrial achievements, which have shaped nations and propelled progress throughout time. With its timeless charm, this image transports us back to an era when steam trains ruled the tracks and innovation was at its peak. It encapsulates both nostalgia for bygone days and admiration for those dedicated individuals who work tirelessly behind museum walls to ensure these treasures are preserved for future generations. This Memory Lane Prints' print immortalizes a unique meeting between two influential figures - Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Dr J. Geraint Jenkins - united by their shared love for history, culture, and all things locomotive-related.
