It was the Great Chesterfords steam gathering, here is my report, pictures and the people of the rally, all having a great time in the sun.



I came across several engines making their way to the gathering out on the road.

























Whilst walking between the two car park's to see the collection of vehicles I passed several intresting features of the village.
Lamp lighters cottage


Blacksmith's cottage.



I am sure this must have been in use when some of these vehicles were new !

Outside privy.



There were also cars and motorcycles too.

One for Hedd first.




















The fair.



These young lads and lady, are all joining the army when they are old enough !



The man who we must thank for putting the gathering on the map, although I am sure there are many more.
