EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Aveling & Porter Road Roller 10510, a historic machine built in 1923. The single-cylinder NHP (Narrow Gauge Highway) roller, registration number PR 509, is a fine example of the engineering prowess of the Aveling & Porter Company. The image transports us back to the 1970s and 1980s, a time when these road rollers were still in use, maintaining and improving the road infrastructure. The roller, with its distinctive red and yellow livery, is shown in a quiet moment, parked on the side of the road. Its large, single cylinder engine, with its intricate details and rustic charm, is a testament to the industrial era. The Aveling & Porter Road Roller 10510 was a part of Class C, a classification for rollers with a single cylinder and a narrow gauge highway. This roller, built over 50 years ago, would have been an essential tool for maintaining the roads in its time. Its robust design and reliable performance made it a favorite among road maintenance crews. The photograph, taken in the 1970s or 1980s, captures the essence of a bygone era. The image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a reminder of the industrial heritage that shaped our world and the machines that played a crucial role in shaping our roads and infrastructure.
