The Mayor and Mayoress of Wimbledon find themselves on the footplate of Southern Railway's remarkable Lord Nelson Class 4-6-0 locomotive, aptly named Lord Anson. Standing proudly beside them is none other than Richard Edward Lloyd Maunsell, the brilliant mind behind this magnificent piece of machinery.

Their presence signifies not only their appreciation for technological advancements but also their support for progress within transportation.
