Vehicle lovers and steam enthusiasts were in their element at the Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show as they met the engines which shaped our history. A Vintage Parade of cars tractors, motorcycles and steam engines was held on both days to thousands of spectators in the Gritchie Brewing Co main ring. And for the first time, a steam engine display was held, showcasing examples of steam power dating back between 1910 and 1940. Displays included a Veiling and Porter made in 1923 as a convertible tractor for Peterborough council. It was sold in 1931 to the Groby Granite Co for hauling stone and then to two other companies who converted it to a roller. The Veiling and Porter was used until 1957 when it was sold to Hardwicks Scrap Yard and converted back to a tractor. Also on display was a Garrett 4NHP Tractor which was built in 1924. New to W & F Bains of Blackham in Sussex for £805 it was bought by Chris Lambert in 1944 and, like many steam tractors around that time, was converted into a roller for commercial work. It was bought at his sale in 1955 by Don Eastwood and converted back into a tractor, and remained in the Eastwood family’s ownership for 50 years. It was then bought and fully overhauled by Ian Houlgrave in Lincolnshire and remained with him until purchased by the White family from Salisbury in 2018.
