(SatNav PL16 0AT) www.kivells.com FOREWORD This would have been the 25th annual collective auction to be held at Milford farm by Kivells in conjunction with Richard Sandercock. Richard purchased the strategically well placed Milford Farm in 1991 with the intention of opening his steam collection to the public in the first museum buildings and utilising the workshop facilities to relocate his R. Dingle & Sons contracting business from their historical site in Stoke Climsland. The museum evolved into what is now The Fairground Heritage Trust collection and visitor attraction and the workshop was to become a centre of excellence for the repair and rebuilding of steam engines with Clive Gibbard working under Richard’s direction. Clive has recently retired and moved away and Richard has decided the moment is right to close the workshop business and sell the equipment and stores. That raised the question of who would look after his long cherished engine Conqueror. It is several years since Richard could drive the engine since when his apprentices have displayed it for him and he has made the decision the engine and the associated tackle and the rest of his heritage collection should also be dispersed. There was an early commitment to a few outside lots which has been honoured but this sale is predominately Richard’s sale and has moved away from the collective pattern of earlier years. VENUE Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre, Milford, Lifton, Devon, PL16 0AT Sale will commence promptly at 10:00am AUCTIONEERS CONTACT DETAILS Kivells, Exeter Livestock Centre, Matford Park Road, Exeter, Devon, EX2 8FD.

  • Historic Amusement Parks and Fairground Rides Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary
    Historic Amusement Parks and Fairground Rides Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. With origins that can be traced to annual fairs and 18th-century pleasure grounds, and much influenced by America’s Coney Island amusement park of the 1890s, England has one of the finest amusement park and fairground ride heritages in the world. A surprising amount survives today. The most notable site is Blackpool Pleasure Beach, in Lancashire, which has an unrivalled heritage of pre-1939 fairground rides. Other early survivals in England include scenic railways at Margate and Great Yarmouth, and water splash rides in parks at Kettering, Kingston-upon-Hull and Scarborough that date from the 1920s. This guidance note has been written by Allan Brodie and edited by Paul Stamper. It is one is of several guidance documents that can be accessed HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/selection-criteria/listing-selection/ihas-buildings/ Published by Historic England June 2015.

  • Traction Engine - Wikipedia
    12/20/2018 Traction engine - Wikipedia Traction engine A traction engine is a self-propelled steam engine used to move heavy loads on roads, plough ground or to provide power at a chosen location. The name derives from the Latin tractus, meaning 'drawn', since the prime function of any traction engine is to draw a load behind it. They are sometimes called road locomotives to distinguish them from railway locomotives – that is, steam engines that run on rails. Traction engines tend to be large, robust and powerful, but heavy, slow, and difficult to manoeuvre. Nevertheless, they revolutionized agriculture and road haulage at a time when the only alternative prime mover was the draught horse. A typical preserved traction engine: 1909 Burrell 6 nhp general purpose engine, at Great Dorset They became popular in industrialised countries from around Steam Fair in 2018. 1850, when the first self-propelled portable steam engines for agricultural use were developed. Production continued well into the early part of the 20th century, when competition from internal combustion engine-powered tractors saw them fall out of favour, although some continued in commercial use in the United Kingdom well into the 1950s and later. All types of traction engines have now been superseded in commercial use. However, several thousand examples have been preserved worldwide, many in working order. Steam fairs are held throughout the year in the United Kingdom, and in other countries, where visitors can experience working traction engines at close hand. Traction engines were cumbersome and ill-suited to crossing soft or heavy ground, so their agricultural use was usually either "on the belt" – powering farm machinery by means of a continuous leather belt driven by the flywheel – or in pairs, dragging an implement on a cable from one side of a field to another.

If there are workers pursuing industrial archaeological studies in any of the five counties who are .not yet in touch with that County's representative, it is hoped that contact will be established as soon as possible so that each representative will have a complete record of the industrial archaeology being undertaken in his County. This will help co-ordination of the work so that:- Anyone will be able to see if a particular topic is being studied and if so, by whom. Anyone coming across information or material remains which are relevant to another worker's studies will know to whom to pass the information.
