EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Roly, once a majestic steam roller and a source of joy for children at the Church Walk play park in Morpeth, now lies abandoned and decaying. This poignant print captures the sad state of this derelict engine on 24th July 1980. The rusty exterior tells tales of its glorious past, where it tirelessly rolled over roads with pride. However, safety experts from Castle Morpeth Council have deemed Old Roly too dangerous for his young friends to climb over. Its deteriorating condition poses risks that cannot be ignored. It is a bittersweet reminder of how time can erode even the sturdiest structures. In this snapshot from the 1980s, we see one child bravely posing beside Old Roly, perhaps reminiscing about days when they climbed aboard and imagined great adventures. The vintage charm exuded by this relic adds an air of nostalgia to the image. This photograph serves as a testament to our ever-changing world and highlights how hobbies and pastimes evolve over time. While technology has replaced these old engines with more efficient counterparts, there is still beauty in preserving remnants from our industrial heritage. Memory Lane Prints presents this image captured by NCJ without any commercial intentions but rather as an ode to history's forgotten treasures.
