Hollowell Steam and Heavy Horse Show (6th -
7th July, 2024)
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 2024.
I'm pleased to present Paul Gilbey's pictures of this
small event which is a pale shadow of its former self, the turnout was a
slight improvement on 2023 but no enthusiast would travel any distance for this.
Paul says "A last minute decision on Sunday saw us go to the
Hollowell Rally. The weather was wet at first but brightened up around noon. A few extra attendees due to the cancellation of the
Elvaston rally. Once again the Savage TE was listed in the programme but yet again was an absentee. Visitor numbers were quite high considering the weather locally. As one has come to expect at this rally a very varied selection of trade and local charity stalls. Large number of cars on display including a number of car clubs. Tractors were well represented
too."
