EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Aveling & Porter Steam Roller KR 478, affectionately named "Dick Turpin," proudly displayed at Westbury, Wiltshire, in 1959. Manufactured by the renowned Aveling & Porter company in 1929, this steam roller carries the unique identification number 14001 and falls under the class AC. With a single cylinder and a nominal horsepower (NHP) of 4, this magnificent machine boasts an undeniable presence. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, as steam technology began to give way to more modern methods. The Roller, owned by Barnes Bros. at the time, bears the registration number KR 478. Its name, "Dick Turpin," adds an intriguing layer of history, as Dick Turpin was a notorious English highwayman from the 18th century. The photograph, taken in 1959, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Aveling & Porter Steam Roller KR 478 in its natural habitat – the rolling hills of Wiltshire. The steam roller's powerful presence, coupled with the picturesque backdrop, creates a striking contrast between the industrial might of the machine and the serene beauty of the English countryside.
