EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1954, we are transported back to a time when the Marshall Steam Engine reigned supreme. The image showcases a remarkable sight in Pound Street, Petworth, as a man confidently takes the reins of this magnificent machine. With billows of steam rising gracefully into the air, it is impossible not to feel nostalgic for an era defined by ingenuity and raw power. The engine driver's weathered face exudes determination and expertise as he navigates the bustling streets with ease. His pipe clenched between his teeth adds an extra touch of character to this timeless scene. Behind him, another Marshall Steam Engine is being towed along effortlessly, its wheels turning smoothly against the cobblestone road. Surrounded by a sturdy flint wall that has stood witness to countless stories throughout history, these majestic engines symbolize both progress and tradition. They serve as a reminder of our industrial heritage and evoke feelings of admiration for those who operated them with skillful precision. This evocative photograph captures not just two steam engines but also an entire era frozen in time. It transports us back to a simpler age where machines like these were at the forefront of innovation and played vital roles in shaping society. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved by West Sussex County Council's George Garland Collectionj at their Record Office Ref No: Garland N42207), we cannot help but be captivated by its beauty and significance
