EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the tranquil beauty of Derby's Arboretum, a historic public park located in the heart of the city. Established in the mid-19th century, the Arboretum is a verdant oasis of grassy expanses, winding pathways, and picturesque gardens. At the center of this idyllic scene stands a stately statue of Sir Frederick Henry Royce (1863-1933), an English engineer and automobile manufacturer. The statue, which was originally installed in the Arboretum in 1923, was later moved to the River (or Riverside) Gardens in 1972 and then to Rolls Royce's Moor Lane site in 1990. Sir Frederick Henry Royce, born in 1863, was a visionary pioneer in the automobile industry. He co-founded the Rolls-Royce Motor Car Company with Charles Rolls in 1904, and together they produced some of the most luxurious and reliable cars in the world. Royce's innovative engineering and design principles revolutionized the automobile industry, and his legacy continues to inspire generations of engineers and manufacturers. The statue, which sits atop a grand plinth, depicts Royce in a thoughtful pose, as if contemplating the future of transportation. The fountain in the foreground adds a delightful touch to the scene, creating a serene and reflective atmosphere. The ornate railings and statues that adorn the park further enhance the historical charm of this beloved Derby landmark.
