Bressingham Heritage Steam Gala 4th - 6th May
 

These are a few pictures from the first day of this event and the pub run. They are carefully chosen as being the best I happened to get!

Here is part of the line-up, showing (L to R) Garrett agricultural 'Felsted Belle': unidentified (By me that is. Where's your registration plate?) Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies agricultural: Bressingham's own Burrell DCC roller 'Buster': Burrell SCC 'The Duchess'.

Some engines look wonderful, restored to 'better then new' condition. However there is a special charm about one that looks used but cared for, like Marshall agricultural 'Bessie'.

The sheer bulk of a ploughing engine is always impressive. This is Fowler AA7 'Cissie'. Her partner is another 'Bessie' - not currently in steam.

A sight never before seen on Fair Green but, hopefully, it will be again.

Sorry if I'm overdoing one engine, but I thought that Mary Rose going home made a lovely picture.
