EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by the Daily Mirror, driver Charles Carter is overwhelmed with emotions as he turns away from witnessing a significant moment in British railway history. The departure of the last steam locomotive to be overhauled by British Railways, Riddles Britannia class 7P pacific No. 70013 Oliver Cromwell, marks the end of an era. As tears well up in his eyes and sadness fills his face, it becomes evident that Charles Carter's connection to these majestic machines runs deep. This image encapsulates the bittersweet feelings shared by many during this time of transition from steam to diesel power. Assisting him in this final journey is none other than the Mayor of Crewe himself, Councillor Herbert Vernon. Together they navigate through Crewe Works for one last time before bidding farewell to a beloved symbol of transportation history. The significance of this event cannot be understated; it represents not only technological progress but also nostalgia for a simpler time when steam trains ruled the tracks. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how deeply intertwined human emotion can become with machinery and how even seemingly mundane moments can hold immense sentimental value. This Memory Lane Print transports us back to February 1967 when Charles Carter turned away from watching Oliver Cromwell depart – forever etching his name into railway folklore alongside countless others who mourned the passing of an iconic era.
