EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken at the 1959 Walford Cross auction, two iconic machines from the golden age of steam engineering stand proudly side by side. The Burrell Devonshire General Purpose Traction Engine TA1849 Jellicoe (msn 3368) with its Coeur de Lion 5nhp engine, built in 1913 by Charles Burrell & Sons of Thetford, Norfolk, is shown on the left. The Burrell Company, based at the St Nicholas works on Minstergate and St Nicholas Street, was renowned for its steam traction engines, agricultural machinery, steam lorries, and steam tram engines. On the right, an Aveling & Barford Steam Roller YA2197 is displayed. Aveling-Barford, a large engineering company from Grantham, England, was a leading manufacturer of road rollers, motorgraders, front loaders, site dumpers, dump trucks, and articulated dump trucks. This photograph captures a moment in time when these magnificent machines, symbols of industrial power and innovation, were being passed from one owner to another. The Burrell Devonshire General Purpose Traction Engine and the Aveling & Barford Steam Roller were essential tools for transportation and construction during the early 20th century. Their survival to this day is a testament to their enduring appeal and historical significance. The St Nicholas works in Thetford, where the Burrell engines were built, still survives today, offering a glimpse into the rich industrial heritage of the past. This photograph is a reminder of the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into creating these engineering marvels, and the role they played in shaping the world we live in today.
