EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - King George V's visit to Plymouth North Road Station in 1931. The image captures the grandeur and regality of the occasion as the King is seen stepping off his majestic locomotive, known as "King Class". The scene exudes an air of excitement and anticipation, with a crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of their beloved monarch. The station itself stands proud, adorned with decorative flags and bunting that add a festive touch to this historic event. King George V cuts an impressive figure in his formal attire, radiating dignity and authority. His presence commands attention as he graciously acknowledges well-wishers who have come out to greet him on this special day. This photograph not only immortalizes a royal visit but also serves as a testament to the power and influence of steam locomotives during that era. It symbolizes progress, innovation, and national pride - all values deeply cherished by both King George V himself and the people he ruled over. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded of our rich heritage and how it continues to shape our present. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modern advancements, there is still something truly magical about capturing moments frozen in time through photographs like these.
