a hill with a house on it. In the yard withing the house you will see a rook of slowly rotting ploughing tackle.

There is a museum mostly full of stationary type steam engines, but also a odd little portable (by J T Marshall), a good green K7 ploughing engine with a roof sometimes seen in steam, also a bad one with bits missing in the museum.

Amongst a dozen or so other fine engines theres always one of only a few chances a year to catch a glimpse of this beauty!

15 engines due I am told

The ones I know of are Fowler BB1, Fowler 14HP single, Ruston 7HP, Tiger Tractor, Clayton 7HP not sure who the other ten are but a road train of four engines on Friday will cause a stir for those not glued to the box on London based events..........

Which way are they coming into the city and when? roads should be quiet in the morning at least! My little girl wants to watch the wedding but I know that she will be more impressed with seeing the engines on the road!
