    Instructed by Richard Sandercock Esq In the matter of his retirement sale. Note: the Fairground Heritage Trust Attraction goes on from strength to strength and is in no way affected by this sale. Auction of Steam Engines, Vehicles, Workshop Machinery and consumables Antique & Vintage Items, Books, literature & Bygones 2nd Revision All lot numbers for lots presently identified will remain the same but pictures and further lots may be added Saturday 21st October 2017 DINGLES FAIRGROUND HERITAGE CENTRE, MILFORD, LIFTON, DEVON, PL16 0AT Sale will commence at 10:00am prompt Directions: Follow the brown signs to Dingles Heritage Fairground from the A30 2 miles East of Lifton Village. (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.

  • Charles Burrell & Sons Limited
    Charles Burrell & Sons Limited Administrative History Joseph Burrell founded the business in the late 1770s, setting up originally as a general smith and repairer of agricultural tools in Thetford. He produced ploughs, harrows and rakes. Early in the 19 th century, with his brothers, James and William, he began designing his own patent agricultural machinery. In 1803 his 'improved drill for sowing crushed oat cake manure with wheat, turnips etc' won a silver cup at the Holkham sheep-shearing festival (a forerunner of the great agricultural shows). A small iron and brass foundry was started under James and continued at the St Nicholas foundry. One of James's sons, James junior, had a small shop and foundry, while the other son Charles inherited the family firm. Charles (grandson of the founder) was 20 when he took over in 1837, and was to see the name of Burrell become world-famous during his 69-year 'reign' to his death in 1906. Charles Burrell & Sons, steam and agricultural machinery manufacturers were the first to introduce a practical heavy duty traction engine for use on roads. The firm produced traction engines, steam rollers and ploughing engines. More than 4,000 engines left the works during the life of the firm and many were put in countries around the world. In 1848 Burrell's produced their own single cylinder (SC) portable in 1848 which they exhibited at the Royal Agricultural Show. The firm continued to manufacture other agricultural machinery, and produced the first combined threshing and finishing machine about this time. Burrell joined forces with engineer, James Boydell, to produce the first practical traction engine, a self-moving road engine for pulling loads.

Just under half (69) of all the Marshall Sons & Co traction engines produced for the Australian market (148) were exported to Tasmania demonstrating the level of activity seen in this state. The number of engines in the state coupled with the expense of processing scrap in the dying days of steam left Tasmania rich in steam history.

  • Heavy Metal Archive Workshop Marshalls, Sons and Company 5 December 2007
    Heavy Metal archive workshop Marshalls, Sons and Company 5 December 2007 Museum of English Rural Life Redlands Road Reading RG1 5EX Tel: 0118 378 8660 [email protected] www.merl.org.uk About the Heavy Metal project ‘Heavy Metal’ is an archive project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Road Locomotive Society and the University of Reading. The project started in January 2007 to encourage more people to use MERL’s steam engine and farm machinery manufacturers’ archives and to make them more accessible. Over many months, Museum staff and volunteers have sorted and catalogued a large range of archives. These include 10,000 engineering drawings produced by steam engine manufacturers, Charles Burrell and 2,500 from Wallis and Steevens. The volunteers, who include members of the Road Locomotive Society, also learnt conservation techniques enabling them to repackage glass negatives and preserve around 1,000 fragile drawings. A project archivist was employed to sort and produce an electronic catalogue of three major archive collections: Wallis and Steevens and agricultural machinery manufacturers’ International Harvester and Massey-Ferguson. These collections include technical literature, business and employee records, engineering drawings, photographs and advertising materials. When the electronic catalogues are complete, the list of MERL archives will be available for everyone online at the Access to Archives’ website – www.a2a.org.uk The project has also enabled MERL to digitise a number of fragile archives to preserve them for the future and make them easier to use. These include a number of Wallis and Steevens production registers, which are requested frequently, and 600 glass negatives on loan from the Road Locomotive Society.
