EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Wallis and Steevens Road Roller 7539, affectionately named "Midnight," in action on the streets of Newark on June 11, 1972. Registration number BE 9360 adorns the side of this historic machine, which was part of the Wallis and Steevens fleet during the 1970s. The Road Roller, a classic symbol of transportation infrastructure development, was a common sight on the roads during this era. The steam-powered engine, a testament to engineering innovation, emits thick plumes of smoke as it goes about its work. The image transports us back in time to an era when steam power was still a significant force in the transportation industry. The 1970s, often referred to as the "Me Decade," were marked by a sense of individuality and a fascination with the past, making this photograph an evocative reminder of that time. Wallis and Steevens, a renowned name in road construction equipment, produced a range of high-quality road rollers, including the Midnight model. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the company's rich history and the role it played in shaping the transportation landscape of the past. The Road Roller's enduring presence on the streets of Newark serves as a testament to its importance in the development and maintenance of the nation's infrastructure. This photograph, part of The William Kerry Collection, is a valuable addition to any archive or collection focused on transportation history, the 1970s, or industrial photography. Its intriguing composition and historical significance make it a must-have for enthusiasts and historians alike.
