EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: Burrell's Red Gauntlet Traction Engine at the 1959 Andover Steam Fair" This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as the Burrell General Purpose Traction Engine TA369 Red Gauntlet (msn 3798) takes center stage at the 1959 Andover Steam Fair. The Burrell Engine Company, based in Thetford, Norfolk, was renowned for its innovative steam-powered vehicles, including traction engines, agricultural machinery, steam lorries, and steam tram engines. The Red Gauntlet, with its distinctive red paintwork and intricate detailing, is a fine example of the company's engineering prowess. The engine's robust design and versatility made it a popular choice for agricultural and transportation applications during the early to mid-20th century. In this image, the Red Gauntlet is proudly displayed amidst the vibrant atmosphere of the steam fair, surrounded by other historic steam engines and enthusiasts. The St. Nicholas Works on Minstergate and St. Nicholas Street in Thetford, where Charles Burrell & Sons built and operated their business, can be traced back to this era. Although the company has since ceased commercial operations, some of the surviving structures from these works still stand today, serving as a testament to the rich history of steam engineering in Norfolk. The Red Gauntlet's appearance at the Andover Steam Fair offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam power reigned supreme in the world of transportation and agriculture. This photograph is a reminder of the ingenuity, craftsmanship, and passion that defined the Burrell Engine Company and its iconic steam engines.
