EdwardianRob's Old Warden Steam & Country Fayre photos

[EdwardianRob]

Superb day out at Old Warden, wonderful location and it's actually cheaper than visiting the Collection on a 'normal' day too! Highly recommend it, the steam wagons are fantastic and can't think of any steam wagons i'd like to see that weren't there, most makes I can think of with surviving wagons were represented apart from Wallis & Steevens (although only one is left)



Little and large - the large one is a 1916 Fowler K7 Ploughing Engine 'Sevington'



What a wonderful backdrop! Clayton & Shuttleworth Steam Wagon of 1920



1905 Yorkshire Steam Wagon





Interesting coffee table outside the Sentinel Steam Wagon stand



1919 International Tractor



Bears driving jeeps, how big a threat?



1916 Mann steam wagon with Pimms of Guildford van on the back, who it worked for originally



The only surviving Hindley steam wagon, a 1905 design, rebuilt from a set of original wheels



Newly restored 1912 Garrett steam wagon, the strange shape of the smokebox is owing to the superheater



Sentinel steam lorries







Foden Steam Wagon of 1913, the 'Icklingham Flyer' - still in it's original paintwork, was brought back to the UK from the Henry Ford Museum in 1980



'Old Tim' crane engine of 1910 and the only surviving Fowler steam wagon



Edwardian aircraft line up - from left to right, 1909 Bleriot, the world's oldest flying aeroplane and aero engine, 1912 Blackburn, the oldest flying British aeroplane and British aero engine, and an Avro Triplane replica built in the 1960's for 'Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines' - this is the one that Terry Thomas flies!



Pair of Fowell Traction Engines (never heard of them before today - only 7 left in the world), both from the same original owner, who had three



1913 Thornycroft ST Lorry



Magnificent 1913 McCurd Lorry, still owned by Tate & Lyle and featured in 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'



Edwardian traffic jam! McCurd overtaken by a 1916 Ford Model T Butcher's Van



1913 International Harvester Autowagon - how often do you get three 1913 commercial vehicles in one place?!



1913 McCurd and the Shuttleworth Collection's 1914 Clayton & Shuttleworth



1905 Yorkshire and 1917 Sentinel



This guy with his miniature Foden steam fire engine was fantastic!



Trio of Hazell's Sentinels



'Old Tim' again



1937 Latil timber tractor



1876 Shand Mason steam fire engine, the world's oldest Shand Mason still working. It was being used to pump the water into the steam vehicles - great use for it

Aveling & Porter 'Mona' of 1900
