EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a momentous occasion as Lord Beaverbrook proudly unveils his nameplate on a Southern Railway train. The year is 1947, and the locomotive in question is none other than BR 34054/SR No. 21C154, built with meticulous craftsmanship in Brighton. Lord Beaverbrook, also known as William Maxwell Aitken or Max Aitken, was a prominent figure of the mid-20th century. Renowned for his influential role as the owner of Daily Express newspapers and Express Newspapers company, he left an indelible mark on both Canadian-British relations and the world of journalism. As he stands before the majestic steam engine adorned with his nameplate, one cannot help but feel a sense of awe at this historic moment frozen in time. The significance lies not only in Lord Beaverbrook's association with this magnificent machine but also in its symbolic representation of progress and innovation during that era. This photograph serves as a testament to Lord Beaverbrook's passion for trains and his commitment to advancing transportation infrastructure. It reminds us of an era when locomotives were more than mere modes of transport; they embodied dreams realized through engineering marvels. Sadly, like all things finite, this exceptional train was withdrawn from service in September 1964 after decades faithfully serving its purpose. However, thanks to Memory Lane Prints' preservation efforts by W Bellamy, we can still relive these extraordinary moments captured so beautifully on
