Shrewsbury Steam Rally 2017
Steam Rollers
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).

This show always has a good set of varied rollers although almost all are regular attendees. Most were lined up facing south and were best photographed late on the Sunday afternoon, the mornings being rather grey when I had to use the limited sun for the east facing engines. As they only move to and from the Grand Parade when the sun shines straight down their route, there's no great alternative angle available hence the repetitious nature of the photographs.
