Gurney Steam Carriage, 1826

In the period 1825-9, Goldsworthy Gurney designed and built a number of steam-powered road vehicles which were amongst the first designed with the intent to commercialize a steam road transport business, the Gurney Steam Carriage Company. His vehicles were built at his Regent's Park Manufactory works, and tested around the park's barrack yard, and on frequent excursions to Hampstead, Highgate, Edgware, Barnet and Stanmore, at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour. His steam carriage was not a commercial success. There was an understandable apprehension on the part of the public to a conveyance atop a dangerous steam boiler.
