EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at Llandysul railway station in Powys, Mid Wales, in the year 1906. A steam lorry, also known as a Mann's Patent Steam Cart, owned by the local haulage contractors Evans & Jones, is shown laden with freshly loaded goods. The driver, dressed in a flat cap and goggles, sits at the wheel, while two men in caps stand at the side of the vehicle, securing the tarpaulin cover over the cargo. The steam lorry, with its large, round wheels and intricate machinery, is a testament to the ingenuity of the Edwardian era. The steam lorry had replaced the traditional horse-drawn carts for transporting goods, offering a faster and more efficient means of transportation. The goods, which appear to be in various shapes and sizes, have just been unloaded from the train, and the steam lorry is ready to continue its journey along the winding roads of Mid Wales. The river Dwyryd flows gently in the background, adding to the idyllic and picturesque setting. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the transport industry during the early 20th century. The steam lorry, with its steam-powered engine and large wheels, was a significant innovation in the field of transportation, and its impact can still be felt today. The men, dressed in their Edwardian attire, stand as a reminder of the hard work and dedication required to keep the economy moving during this period.
