This photograph showcases Wallis & Steevens Road Roller OU5979, a historic steam-powered machine built in 1930 by the renowned British engineering firm, Wallis & Steevens of Basingstoke. The road roller, registration number OU5979 and number 8065, is seen here at Southampton, where it was likely being used for maintenance and upkeep of the local roads. The steam-powered tractor, a testament to the ingenuity and industrial prowess of its time, was an essential piece of heavy machinery in the farming and construction industries. The steam traction engine, with its distinctive chimney and large wheels, harnessed the power of steam to roll and compact roads, ensuring a smoother and more durable surface for vehicles to travel on. Despite the passage of time, this Wallis & Steevens Road Roller remains an iconic symbol of the past, evoking memories of a bygone era when steam power reigned supreme in the realm of heavy machinery. The photograph, taken on 24 June 1972, captures the essence of this magnificent machine as it stood proudly, ready to continue its vital role in the maintenance of the nation's infrastructure. The correct spelling of the company name is Wallis & Steevens, with the double 'e' in Steevens, a detail that adds to the authenticity and historical significance of this remarkable photograph.
