60th Cornish Steam & Country Fair - WESES

[jvenning]

The 60th Annual Cornish Steam & Country Fair this weekend at Stithians, Cornwall.
A total of 51 full-size steam engines mentioned within the program with some nice new examples to be seen - i.e. Burrell 4060 'Pride of Newquay' and Burrell 3031 'Gracey', currently shown as part-built and being restored by Sam Henwood. A work-in-progress 6" Robey, No.4 was also on display.
Altogether a great selection of engines and the safety's on the 1913 Keck Gonnerman were sure to give many a visitor a shock or two! Great to catch up with some familiar faces and congratulations to WESES for 60 glorious years.
