EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling era of the 1920s in Sheffield, Yorkshire. The focal point is an impressive Henry Cosney steam lorry, standing tall amidst the rugged landscape of Rivelin Glen Quarry. This snapshot from history showcases the remarkable industrial prowess that defined this region during that time. The steam lorry, a testament to engineering ingenuity, exudes power and strength as it rests against a backdrop of towering quarry walls. Its robust wheels and sturdy frame hint at its ability to transport heavy loads across challenging terrains. One can almost imagine the rhythmic chugging sound emitted by its powerful engine as it traversed through these quarries. Rivelin Glen Quarry itself holds secrets within its depths - a place where countless workers labored tirelessly to extract precious resources from Mother Earth's embrace. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their unwavering dedication and hard work. Preserved with care by Sheffield Libraries, this original print captures not only the physicality of machinery but also offers a glimpse into an era long gone. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come technologically while paying homage to those who laid the foundation for our modern world. Let this image transport you back in time, allowing your imagination to wander through the echoes of clattering tools and billowing steam – an ode to Sheffield's industrial heritage etched forever in this photograph.
