EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the momentous occasion of the centenary celebrations for the opening of the railway in 1825. The renowned Locomotive Number 1, created by George Stephenson himself, is proudly depicted as it hauls replicas of the original passenger coach and coal wagons that formed part of the inaugural train a century ago. The image captures a sense of nostalgia and historic significance, transporting us to an era when steam-powered locomotives revolutionized transportation. As we gaze upon this snapshot from July 4th, 1925, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging sound and feel the excitement that filled Darlington's air during this grand procession. Notably present at this remarkable event was none other than the Duke of York himself, adding an extra touch of prestige to these festivities. It is awe-inspiring to imagine how far railways had come in just one hundred years since their inception. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress while evoking a deep appreciation for our rich history. It reminds us that even amidst modern advancements, there will always be moments worth celebrating from our past – milestones that have shaped society as we know it today.
