EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a traction engine making its way through Victoria Place, Haverfordwest, in South Wales, circa 1906. The large, powerful engine, adorned with a smoking funnel, transports a heavy load of stones from the nearby station. In this Edwardian era scene, the traction engine was a common sight on the streets of Haverfordwest, as it was used to move various heavy items such as stones, bricks, and slate from the station and quay. The engine's massive grate and puffing funnel emit thick plumes of smoke, adding to the historical atmosphere of the scene. The paving stones of Victoria Place bear the marks of the engine's passage, while the crowd on the pavement watches in awe as the large machine makes its way through the bustling town. The traction engine, with its intricate details and impressive size, was a marvel of engineering during this period, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Located in Pembrokeshire, Dyfed, the town of Haverfordwest was an important hub for transportation during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The quay and station were key points of connection for the movement of goods in and out of the area, and the traction engine played a crucial role in this process. This photograph, taken in the heart of Victoria Place, captures a moment in history that is both intriguing and visually stunning.
