Images from "Bonfire"

The weather held up for this informal gathering of some of the finest steam men from Shropshire with an influx of foreigners from afar afield as Cheshire and beyond. The run to the pub was most enjoyable. Not to mention the shed full of cakes and other goodies. It was good to see the young ones taking a bit of an interest in the working of engines. The final image has Basil Jnr in the yard showing two young lads where the coal and tools are stored on an engine.

Not just Coal he was mumping I heard, it is aledged that a Black Sentinel came to his rescue filling a watering can up on the way to the pub, and a green one did the same on the way back !

This is true, I was a passenger in the back of the black Sentinel at the time and have photographic evidence of the deed which I will post when I have downloaded it and worked out how to post photos on TT.
