EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Burrell Showmans Road Locomotive, Prince of Wales (HR6658, msn 3887), proudly displayed at the 1959 Crystal Palace Steam Rally. The Burrell Company, based in Thetford, Norfolk, was renowned for its production of steam traction engines, agricultural machinery, steam lorries, and steam tram engines. This particular locomotive, a stunning example of the company's craftsmanship, was a favorite among showgoers. Charles Burrell & Sons, the company behind this engineering marvel, operated from the St Nicholas works on Minstergate and St Nicholas Street. Although the company's primary focus was on commercial vehicles, their steam locomotives were equally impressive. The Prince of Wales, with its intricate details and powerful presence, is a testament to the company's dedication to innovation and excellence. The 1959 Crystal Palace Steam Rally provided the perfect platform for the Burrell Showmans Road Locomotive to shine. Surrounded by other vintage vehicles and machinery, it stood out as a symbol of a bygone era. Today, the St Nicholas works in Thetford still survives, a reminder of the rich history of steam transportation and the companies that made it possible. This photograph not only captures the essence of the Prince of Wales locomotive but also the spirit of a time when steam power reigned supreme.
