EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of preparation for the journey home of Marshall General Purpose Engine, registration number E 9624, affectionately known as Henry, at the annual traction engine rally held outside the Museum of Science and Technology on Newhall Street in Birmingham, England, in 1969. The engine, with its distinctive red and yellow livery, is carefully loaded onto a flat bed trailer for the trip back to its rightful place. Built by Marshall, Sons & Co. in 1924, this 7 Nhp single-cylinder steam engine is a testament to the industrial heritage of the region. With its powerful steam engine, Henry was once a vital component of the heavy farming machinery used in the transportation of goods across the countryside. Now, it stands as a cherished relic of a bygone era, preserved for future generations to appreciate. The traction engine rally, a popular event in the local community, provides an opportunity for enthusiasts to come together and celebrate the rich history of steam transport. As the sun sets on the day, Henry and its fellow engines await their turn to take to the road once more, their powerful pistons thrumming in anticipation of the journey home.
