This vintage lantern slide captures a fascinating glimpse into the past with Ben Barnes' steam wagon in Rawtenstall during the early 1900s. The image showcases a bygone era of transportation and industrial innovation, where steam-powered vehicles were at the forefront of haulage in Lancashire's Rossendale region.
The imposing presence of the steam wagon against the backdrop of a bustling street scene evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when such mechanical marvels were essential for transporting goods and materials across long distances. The intricate details of the wagon's design are beautifully captured in this photograph, highlighting its sturdy construction and powerful engine that propelled it along Lancashire's roads.
