EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic Aveling & Porter Steam Roller DE 4629, proudly displayed at Manorbier Castle in Pembrokeshire, Wales, in the year 1959. The steam roller, a relic of a bygone era, stands as a testament to the industrial heritage of the region. Its intricate design and powerful presence are a stark contrast to the picturesque castle ruins in the background. The Aveling & Porter Steam Roller DE 4629 was part of the extensive fleet of the Pembrokeshire County Council, which was responsible for maintaining the county's roads. This particular steam roller, with its distinctive red livery and large, robust wheels, would have been used to compact and smooth the gravel and dirt roads that were common in rural areas during the late 1950s. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam power was still a viable and essential technology. The steam roller's large chimney billows out thick plumes of smoke, while its engine hisses and roars, creating a scene that is both mesmerizing and awe-inspiring. The image also highlights the symbiotic relationship between the past and the present, as the steam roller, a relic of the past, stands proudly in the shadow of the historic Manorbier Castle, a symbol of the rich history and heritage of Pembrokeshire. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving our industrial heritage and the role it plays in shaping our collective memory.
