EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to April 1924, as King George V and Queen Mary grace the footplate of locomotive No. 4082 Windsor Castle during their visit to Swindon Works. The regal couple stands tall and elegant against the majestic backdrop of Windsor Castle, symbolizing their unwavering connection to the British monarchy. As they embark on this remarkable journey through time, we witness a moment frozen in history that encapsulates both power and grace. The steam engine itself, part of the renowned Castle Class series, exudes an air of grandeur befitting its royal passengers. The significance of this image lies not only in its depiction of royalty but also in its representation of industrial progress. Swindon Works was at the forefront of railway engineering during that era, responsible for producing some of Britain's most iconic locomotives. This photograph serves as a testament to the harmonious relationship between innovation and tradition. Preserved within STEAM Museum's collection, this print allows us to delve into a bygone era when steam engines ruled supreme and kings and queens embraced technological advancements with enthusiasm. It is a reminder that even those born into privilege can appreciate the marvels created by human ingenuity. With every glance at this historical artifact from STEAM Museum's archives, we are reminded not only of our rich heritage but also how far we have come since then – bridging past achievements with present aspirations for a brighter future.
