1 September 2019 Adding to our Steam Train Day were visitors from Land Rover Series One club and also some vintage lawnmowers courtesy Hall and Duck Trust ( CLICK HERE). As always we are very grateful to those who took a day out to bring their exhibits along and we and our visitors very much appreciate this!

The Club are specifically interested Series 1 Land Rovers from 1948 to 1958. Later versions include Series 2 (1958 to 1971) and 3 (1971 to 1985). (Photo courtesy Brian Haigh)
