East Midlands Steam and Country Show (30th April - 2nd May, 2022)
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 index for 2022.
I'm pleased to present Paul Gilbey's pictures of this small recently established event at Higham Ferrers. Paul says "To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. 12 pegs allocated to full size steam as far as a could see but only 7 engines present even though they advertised as all sections full before the event. The programme listed everything except the full size steam exhibits.v"Obviously, I wasn't there but any event like this needs a critical mass of engines to provide a reasonable variety of exhibits if it is to be taken seriously.
