This photograph showcases the historic Burrell Road Locomotive 3057, affectionately named "Lord Roberts," built by the renowned Charles Burrell & Sons of Thetford, Norfolk in 1908. With a registration number of BE 7217, this compound, narrow-gauge road locomotive boasts impressive cylinders and an NHP rating. The Burrell Road Locomotive 3057 is a testament to the engineering prowess of its time, constructed during the early 20th century when road locomotives were becoming increasingly popular for transporting goods and materials over long distances.
