is that an old Burrell engine.

A old Steam traction engine being used at Benjamin and Martin barrell's timber yard at Wivenhoe cross works. The Works burned down in 1922. The Engine driver is a Mr. Plain who lived next door .


No, this is not a Burrell. It is a Foster steam tractor; this term referring to small traction engine built to weigh less than 5 tons. A cracking photo!
 Yes Micheal you can post this on the Forum for more information.
