This is one of a series of pages which I have uploaded to
illustrate facets of steam rallies we have attended in the UK.
Such events occur all over the country in the summer months, they are easily
found by using your favourite search engine and may have anything between a
handful of steam engines and hundreds (as at the Great Dorset Steam Fair
which could probably be fairly described as having an excess of riches). Click
here for the Shrewsbury index and click
here for the overall index.
A welcome innovation this year was the performance of the
Foden Agritractor for direct ploughing. Otherwise, ploughing at Shrewsbury is a very relaxed business,
especially on the second day when the cultivator is passed a second time
over the same ground.
