(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.

    The Greatest Show on Earth—The Great Dorset Steam Fair

    Carousel Organ, Issue No. 20 — July, 2004 The Greatest Show on Earth—The Great Dorset Steam Fair Herb Brabandt ver the years it has been my pleasure to give numerous slide and video presentations on the Osubject of the Great Dorset Steam Fair (England). In my early years of attendance, 35mm slides were the only documentation source I used, but when the slides were complemented with recordings of the organs, the pre- sentations were acceptable. Later, with the use of many hours of edited videos, another dimension was added to liven up the presentations—but still it was not like being there. I personally believe the Great Dorset Steam Fair may be considered the “Greatest Show on Earth,” and to attempt to describe in a few written pages with photos, one can only begin to convey the atmosphere and experience of actually attending. Notwithstanding, there seems to be enough interest and curiosity in the U.S. pertaining to “Dorset” to merit an article on the subject. Having attend- ed numerous times over the years, I hope that sharing a few of my experiences may provide some helpful infor- Figure 2.
