EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: In this print from the Ronald Shephard Collection, we are transported back to the Liverpool & Manchester Railway Centenary Celebrations in 1930. The star of the show is none other than "Lion" a locomotive that once served on the bustling Liverpool Dock Estate. With great attention to detail, a specially constructed replica train from 1830 was drawn by Lion around a circular track on the Wavertree playground in Liverpool. The staff involved in this remarkable reenactment were dressed impeccably in period uniforms, adding an authentic touch to the festivities. The event attracted railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike, who eagerly boarded Lion's carriages for a nostalgic journey through time. First-class tickets cost one shilling, while third-class passengers paid six old pennies – an opportunity for everyone to experience a taste of Victorian-era travel. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's archives, this print serves as a testament to our rich railway heritage and celebrates an important milestone in transportation history. It reminds us of how far we have come since those early days when steam-powered engines like Lion revolutionized travel and trade between two thriving cities
