EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases SECR Steam Locomotive 4-4-0 No. 470 as it gracefully passes Shakespeare's Cliff in Dover, Kent. The South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR) 4-4-0 locomotive, with its distinctive design and powerful presence, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the late 19th century. As the train makes its way down the tracks, the locomotive's impressive steam plume billows out, contrasting against the clear blue sky. The train's carriages, filled with curious passengers, follow closely behind, their windows reflecting the picturesque scene before them. The vibrant greenery of the cliffside and the rugged coastline create a stunning backdrop, while the red and white signal at the station adds a sense of order and anticipation. Shakespeare's Cliff, named after the famous playwright who is believed to have drawn inspiration from the area, offers a breathtaking view of the English Channel and the white cliffs that Dover is famous for. The railway line, which hugs the cliffside, adds to the sense of adventure and exploration, as the train carries its passengers to their next destination. This photograph is a charming reminder of a bygone era, when travel by steam train was an exciting and transformative experience. The South Eastern and Chatham Railway's 4-4-0 locomotive, No. 470, and its passengers, make their way through the picturesque landscape, leaving a trail of steam in their wake.
