The King Edward II steam locomotive is moved from her protective shed at the Railway Centre in Oxfordshire, England, on 30th March 2011, ahead of her public unveiling this weekend. A small group of volunteer workers met every two weeks and completed the restoration of the engine, once destined for the scrap heap, after 20 years. King Edward II is a Great Western Railway (GWR) heavy express steam locomotive, one of only three surviving members of this class of locomotive. King Edward II performed over 1,500,000 miles of service pulling trains between London Paddington and the West of England, and also in latter years between Paddington and South Wales or Wolverhampton. Introduced in the 1920s for taking express trains over the steep gradients (banks) of South Devon, the Kings were withdrawn in the early 1960s as diesel locomotives replaced them. 6023 spent many years rotting at Barry Scrapyard, and had her rear driving wheels cut through with an oxy-acetylene torch after a shunting accident. .

  • © Licensed to London News Pictures; 16/06/2020; Bristol, UK. Bristol Cathedral has this week covered up the name of Edward Colston on the giant north window, the largest stained glass window in the cathedral and known as the "Colston window", in the ongoing controversy over the 17th century slave trader and philanthropist's place in Bristol's history and the many references to him in the city. The inscription that has been covered up read "To the Glory of God and in Memory of Edward Colston 1636 – 1721" The cathedral's action comes just over a week after the statue of Edward Colston which stood in Bristol city centre for over 100 years was pulled down by protestors and thrown in Bristol Docks during a Black Lives Matters rally and march through the city centre. The rally was held in memory of George Floyd, a black man who was killed on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis in the US by a white police officer kneeling on his neck for nearly 9 minutes. The killing of George Floyd has seen widespread protests in the US, the UK and other countries against both modern day racism and historical legacies of slavery. Edward Colston (1636 – 1721) was a wealthy Bristol-born English merchant involved in the slave trade, a Member of Parliament and a philanthropist. He supported and endowed schools, almshouses, hospitals and churches in Bristol, London and elsewhere, and his name is commemorated in several Bristol landmarks, streets, three schools and the Colston bun. References to Edward Colston have also been removed or covered up at St Mary Redcliffe church in Bristol. Photo credit: Simon Chapman/LNP.

The concert venue "Bristol Beacon", formerly called the Colston Hall, has its new name projected by Limbic Cinema onto the building for the first time together with images of performers. Today the Bristol Music Trust announced the new name "Bristol Beacon" for the entertainment and music venue formerly called the Colston Hall which is currently undergoing a major refurbishment. The Trust said three years ago that they would change the name due to the long standing controversy of the Colston name, and in June this year signs and letters saying "Colston Hall" were removed from Bristol's largest music and entertainment venue over ongoing controversy with the name being associated with the 17th century slave trader Edward Colston. In 2017 Bristol Music Trust had said they would change the name when the hall was refurbished, but with continuing delays and the recent Black Lives Matters events the name removal was brought forward, despite the new name not then being announced. The name removal came just over a week after the statue of Edward Colston which stood in Bristol city centre for over 100 years was pulled down by protestors and thrown in Bristol Docks during a Black Lives Matters rally and march through the city centre. The rally was held in memory of George Floyd, a black man who was killed on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis in the US by a white police officer kneeling on his neck for nearly 9 minutes. Edward Colston (1636 – 1721) was a wealthy Bristol-born English merchant involved in the slave trade, a Member of Parliament and a philanthropist. He supported and endowed schools, almshouses, hospitals and churches in Bristol, London and elsewhere, and his name is commemorated in several Bristol landmarks, streets, three schools and the Colston bun. The killing of George Floyd has seen widespread protests in the US, the UK and other countries against both modern day racism and historical legacies of slave

Signs and letters saying "Colston Hall" are removed from Bristol's largest music and entertainment venue over ongoing controversy with the name being associated with the 17th century slave trader Edward Colston. In 2017 Bristol Music Trust had said they would change the name when the hall was refurbished, but with continuing delays and the recent Black Lives Matters events the name removal has been brought forward, despite the new name not yet being announced. The name removal comes just over a week after the statue of Edward Colston which has stood in Bristol city centre for over 100 years was pulled down by protestors and thrown in Bristol Docks during a Black Lives Matters rally and march through the city centre. The rally was held in memory of George Floyd, a black man who was killed on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis in the US by a white police officer kneeling on his neck for nearly 9 minutes. Edward Colston (1636 – 1721) was a wealthy Bristol-born English merchant involved in the slave trade, a Member of Parliament and a philanthropist. He supported and endowed schools, almshouses, hospitals and churches in Bristol, London and elsewhere, and his name is commemorated in several Bristol landmarks, streets, three schools and the Colston bun. The killing of George Floyd has seen widespread protests in the US, the UK and other countries against both modern day racism and historical legacies of slavery. Photo credit: Simon Chapman/LNP.
