The outside is decorated with a train travelling to the right on a bridge over a canal towards Westgate Station with a church spire behind it. Below on the right and left there are flowering plants and on the extreme rght, a tree. The locomotive, named 'VICTORY', is followed by a tender labelled 'SRRW', and three closed passenger coaches, with luggage and on two also figures on the roof. On the canal a barge with two men aboard is being towed by a horse on the tow path. Above the train is the inscription SHEFFIELD & ROTHERHAM RAILWAY/OPENED OCTOBER 31. 1838.' Inside the rim is a border comprising a shaped panel with a scrolled edge, a locomotive, tender and three closed passenger carriages, another scrolled panel, and a locomotive, tender and four closed passenger carriages.

The first train took Lord Fitzwilliam and invitees from Sheffield to Rotherham on 31 October 1838. The first public train travelled on 1st November. The first engine, Victory, made the journey in 17 minutes, but the usual time after the opening was about 20 minutes. The tickets cost 1shilling (5p) first class, 9d. (4p.) second class 6d. (2.5 p.) third class, prices which were relatively much higher than their 'new money' equivalent if compared to wages and the purchasing power of money in 1838. In 1844 the Midland Railway took over the operation of the track in October 1844 and the formal take-over of the original company was authorized on 21 July 1845. It seems probable that this mug was made in time for the opening of the line or during the first year or so of its operation. reference term-120816 adlib-term-120816 b8c35cb6-f02f-34c9-9dda-b3120e12c749 19th Century, second quarter reference term-109918 adlib-term-109918 b99df2d6-5877-350a-aba8-e750da5d9ef0 William IV reference term-110457 adlib-term-110457 6ae8be7a-ef2c-3622-ae91-1a83755f29c5 literal England England country Swinton cream reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware slightly tinted blue with cobalt reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze Height cm 10 Width cm 14.5 reference media-34611 adlib-media-34611 20a0324c-35e5-3f82-babd-8cecf2dc0e6d jpeg aa/aa2/C_1129_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742582401052 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1129_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742582401052 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1129_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742582401052 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1129_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742582401052 1 image 0 media image reference media-34612 adlib-media-34612 2667cc2c-0342-3cd5-824e-16c8b89ae18f jpeg aa/aa2/C_1129_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742582395086 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1129_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742582395086 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1129_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742582395086 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1129_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742582395086 1 image 1 media image reference media-34613 adlib-media-34613 faa88736-c4ba-3f3e-921d-23651e51acc2 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1129_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742582326449 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1129_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742582326449 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1129_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742582326449 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1129_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742582326449 1 image 2 media image reference media-34614 adlib-media-34614 949c83e3-18c4-3560-80e5-5d1bfbb90d69 jpeg aa/aa20/C_1129_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 742 width pixels 760 1742582375720 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/mid_C_1129_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 488 width pixels 500 1742582375720 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/C_1129_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 742 width pixels 760 1742582375720 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_C_1129_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 244 width pixels 250 1742582375720 1 image 3 media image reference term-91188 adlib-term-91188 40f320f4-04b6-3303-8129-f9e81e2b4671 mug history note Mrs W.D.
