From the majestic Union Pacific Class Steam Locomotive with its impressive 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement known as Big Boy Class, to the historic Crewe Station that commenced operations on July 4th, 1837 with the inauguration of the Grand Junction Railway. In this captivating collection, witness Chef Andrew Schillar's act of kindness as he offers a bone to a furry friend through his kitchen's side entrance. Transporting us further back in time, we encounter Lynton Barnstaple in 1935 and a bustling London kitchen in 1947 where culinary artistry unfolds under skilled hands. The Old George at 379 Bethnal Green stands tall amidst London's vibrant streets, while Joseph Turner's masterpiece "Rain, Steam and Speed -1844 Great Western Railway" adorns the walls of National Gallery. The iconic Flying Scotsman departs Kings Cross for its inaugural non-stop journey to Edinburgh in May. A. H. Cadier, senior chef at Brighton Pavilion shares his expertise by playfully handing fake chickens to junior chefs. Meanwhile, The Prospect of Whitby pub proudly displays its large sign along Wapping's charming waterfront in London during 1951.
