Just uploaded the only video I managed before the wind got too blustery.
This is of Fowler 16289. Originally a roller new to Bland of Gosforth. Later went complete with driver to Harbour & General. When the driver retired about 1963 the roller was bought by Tom E. Tate whom I helped convert it to a tractor around 1966/7. This was the first time I had seen it since 1971 when I used to drive it round Tom Tate's garden (He then owned Haswell Lodge in County Durham which had a garden of about 7 acres)
