Boconnoc Steam Fair - 24/25 July 2015
 

A selection taken at Boconnoc today. The rain had stopped by the time I got there in the afternoon and the ground is holding up well, lots of movement of course on the hard standing. Plenty of new engines to Boconnoc, well worth a visit if you can make it.

Three proper convertible engines all from differing makers, a rare site:

The Shambrook family engines are making a rare appearance outside Devon, only a couple of times this has happened since both engines were built:

Superb pictures especially the 2 ex Parsons burrells. Whose is the burrell roller with the rutty scarifier? she is a beauty.
Great to see Black Jims lovely old Fowler roller too..... looks to be a great event.

Thanks

Jim

Some pics taken yesterday, brilliant sunshine, none stop movement and the biggest crowd I've seen at Boconnoc - a great day for all concerned.

Here are a couple more of Cornish Maid and Cornishman with the beam load plus others from me yesterday. Once the sun came out properly it was a lovely day. However, this morning in St Ives it was absolutuly chucking it down so hopefully engines can get off site today. Al lot were already parking up on the road under the trees in readiness.

A big thanks to Chris "s-type" for inviting me onto his engine in the afternoon. I have now experienced driving around the estate road with the passenger trailer, brilliant afternoon in the sun.

Have to say Jim, not that old, 1930 As David said a great day on Saturday with record crowds , just a pity about Friday & sunday! Although there was a few public around Sunday.
