EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Brown and May Showman's Road Locomotive, General Buller (registration number AU 4705), in all its glory at Carr Park on May 30, 1971. With the registration number 8742, this impressive steam engine is a testament to the rich transport history of the 1970s. The Brown and May Showman's Road Locomotive, a rare and unique sight, was a popular attraction during the 1970s. This image captures the essence of the era, with the steam engine's brown exterior gleaming in the sunlight and the surrounding environment showcasing the simple pleasures of a bygone era. General Buller, as this particular locomotive was affectionately known, was a powerful and versatile machine. It was used to transport the carnival rides and attractions from one location to another, making it an essential part of the Brown and May Showman's traveling circus. The steam engine's intricate design and engineering are on full display in this photograph, from the detailed boiler and chimney to the intricately designed wheels and cab. The image transports us back to a time when transportation was a spectacle in and of itself, and the thrill of the journey was just as important as the destination. This photograph is a precious addition to any collection of transport history, and a reminder of the romance and adventure that surrounded the world of steam engines in the 1970s. The William Kerry Collection, from which this image is taken, is a treasure trove of historical photographs that capture the essence of a bygone era. This photograph of General Buller is a must-have for anyone with an interest in transport history, steam engines, or the 1970s.
