Torbay Steam Fair 2022
Working Steam
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).

Torbay has traditionally had an extensive working area. This year for whatever reason, it was much reduced in size with just two saw benches. I was told informally by one of the exhibitors that steam ploughing had been planned but it had been thwarted at the last minute by a 'shit happens' event.
Burrell 4014/1925 "Pride of Devon" was working one
Wallis and Steevens 8052/1930 "East Lothian Star" was working the other.
