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.
The showman's engines at Shrewsbury were not 'gainfully
employed' being mainly used to provide some glamour for the grand parade.
Notable here was a rare Foden engine and two from Aveling and Porter.
