EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Robey Tractor number 37657, affectionately known as 'The Guvnor.' The tractor, registered as AP 9341, is depicted in its glory at Wycombe on May 26, 1974. The Robey tractor, a popular choice during the 1970s for transport and transportation needs, is a testament to the era's industrial charm and steam engine power. The Guvnor, with its distinctive design and powerful presence, was a common sight during this period. Its robust structure and impressive capabilities made it a reliable workhorse for various applications. In this image, we see it stationed at Wycombe, its steam engine emitting a plume of smoke against the backdrop of the surrounding landscape. The 1970s, often referred to as the 'Me Decade,' was a time of change and innovation. Yet, the steam engine continued to play a significant role in industries and transportation, and the Robey Tractor was a proud representative of this legacy. The Guvnor's enduring appeal lies not only in its functionality but also in its ability to evoke nostalgia and remind us of a bygone era. This photograph, part of The William Kerry Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of industrial history. The Robey Tractor number 37657, The Guvnor, remains an iconic symbol of the steam engine era and a reminder of the ingenuity and determination of the past.
