EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to 1902, as we behold the majestic Thornycroft steam bus, proudly displayed in the London Road Car Company's yard. The steam bus, a marvel of engineering innovation during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, represents the early days of public transportation. The Thornycroft steam bus, manufactured by the renowned Thornycroft & Co. Ltd. in England, was a significant departure from the horse-drawn omnibuses that dominated the roads at the time. This particular bus, with its distinctive design and intricate details, showcases the advanced technology of the era. The steam engine, located at the rear of the bus, powered the vehicle, while the passengers enjoyed the luxury of enclosed seating and protection from the elements. The London Road Car Company, established in 1897, was one of the pioneers in the motorbus industry. This photograph, taken in their yard, provides a glimpse into their operations and the daily life of the early 20th century. The image also highlights the company's commitment to innovation, as they embraced the new steam bus technology. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective into the past, allowing us to appreciate the ingenuity and progress that characterized the early days of public transportation. This image is a testament to the rich history of transportation and the enduring allure of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
