EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the summer of 1979 at Bowes Railway Museum in Springwell, Gateshead. The image showcases three cheerful lads who played an integral role in constructing a replica of George Stephenson's iconic Rocket locomotive. Standing proudly beside their creation, they exude a sense of accomplishment and pride. From left to right, we have Peter Ratcliffe from Wardley, Colin Seatory, and David Heighton - both hailing from Washington. While their ages remain unknown, their youthful energy is evident as they strike a pose next to the steam-powered marvel that they helped restore. This snapshot captures an era when public transport relied heavily on railways and trains were the lifeblood of communities. It serves as a reminder of the remarkable craftsmanship involved in preserving historical relics for future generations to admire. The photograph itself is beautifully preserved by NCJ's Memory Lane Prints collection. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but be transported back to a time when these young men dedicated themselves to reviving an important piece of transportation history. Their efforts continue to inspire us all as we appreciate the legacy left behind by pioneers like George Stephenson and his revolutionary Rocket locomotive.
