Steam Party at Klondyke Mill, 16th - 17th October, 2021

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 overall 2021 index.

I had attended the 2018 event which was memorable only for the amount of rain that came down, before, during and after it. It's not the easiest of sites for photography and I wasn't too unhappy to opt out when the forecast predicted it would be gloomy all day, especially as I knew that there was a good chance that Paul Gilbey would do the job for me... Klondyke Mill is the base of the North Staffs and Cheshire Traction Engine Club which has control of three engines but a number of others are based there and still more pitch up for their public events. 

So many thanks (again) to Paul Gilbey for his photographs. I really must get back here soon.

It was good that rallies were able to take place at all in 2021 but I found the atmosphere not surprisingly rather subdued. I was actually amazed to see that I had seen as many as 14 'new' engines when I added them up. Of course if I had been to Stotfold.there would have been 4 more and if I had been here then 4 more.

Details below were taken from previous personal observation and also David Collidge's Steam Scenes site http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/ which continues to be the most reliable source of information.
