EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the impressive Aveling and Porter Steam Roller UR1881, built around 1929, at its resting place in Ferndown, Dorset. Aveling and Porter, founded in 1862 by Thomas Aveling and Richard Thomas Porter, began as an agricultural engine manufacturer before developing their first steam engine in 1865. By the early 1900s, their company had grown to become the largest manufacturer of steamrollers (road rollers) in the world. The UR1881, a testament to the engineering prowess of its time, is a marvel of transportation history. This steam-powered behemoth, with its distinctive curved body and large wheels, would have once rolled across roads, compacting the surface for better travel conditions. The steam engine, with its intricate pipes and valves, would have hissed and roared as it worked, leaving a smooth, even surface in its wake. Despite the passage of time, the UR1881 remains a symbol of engineering innovation and the industrial revolution. Its presence in Ferndown serves as a reminder of the past, when steam power was the driving force behind transportation and infrastructure development. This photograph, taken circa 1959, captures a moment in history, a moment when the past and the present converge, inviting us to reflect on the remarkable journey of engineering and transportation.
