EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph showcases the Burrell Showman's Road Locomotive, Lady Pride of England (BD 5257), with the registration number 2625, at Stratford-on-Avon on 17 July 1974. The Burrell Company, based in Scotland, produced these road locomotives between 1937 and 1968, providing a unique form of transport during the 1970s. The Lady Pride of England, a beautiful example of this vintage road locomotive, is adorned with intricate details and ornate decorations, reflecting the pride and craftsmanship of its former owners. The steam engine, with its large wheels and powerful presence, exudes an undeniable charm that transports us back to a bygone era. The 1970s, a decade marked by social and cultural changes, saw a resurgence of interest in traditional forms of transportation, and the Burrell Showman's Road Locomotives were a testament to this trend. These engines were often used to transport fairground rides and attractions from one location to another, adding to the excitement and allure of traveling fairs and shows. This photograph, taken in the picturesque town of Stratford-on-Avon, captures the Lady Pride of England in its element, surrounded by the lush greenery and quaint architecture of the town. The steam engine, with its billowing smoke and gleaming metalwork, stands out against the backdrop of the peaceful English countryside, a striking reminder of the rich history and traditions of transport in the United Kingdom." The William Kerry Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online offers a vast array of historical images, including this photograph of the Lady Pride of England, providing us with a glimpse into the past and a deeper appreciation for the evolution of transportation.
