Hi Martin,
The two ploughers in the photos are "Sandringham" and "Windsor", the two that James Lowther used commercially for dredging until the 1990s at least. "Sandringham" was in steam, and "Windsor" parked up by the ring is awaiting boiler work. They are now both owned by the "Claude Jessett Trust Company" in Hadlow Down.
