■ It is our pleasure to welcome you to this
our Sixth Steam Up at Gisburn. Wc have combined with your local newspaper. The Clitheroe Advertiser and Times to give de tails of Ihc engines and organs that have been booked to be with us this Spring Bank Holiday. The Steam Traction Engine in its many diverse forms was pre-eminent, both agriculturally and commercially for some 90 years. The heyday of the traction engine dates from the 1890’s to the 1920’s. Many councils still used steam tollers in the I960's. Steam wagons were developed to a high degree of efficiency in their final phase up to 1939, using many features
found in their petrol driven rivals. The diesel engine with its cheap fuel sounded the death knell of commercial road haulage by steam. The steam engine was an undeni able personality, never harsh, but always willing and, who knows, with the ever-
increasing cost of fuel oil We may yet see its return to our roads. Bring this page along to our Steam Up as your programme, we hope you find our show enjoyable, and don't be afraid to ask questions.
At the time of going to press these de
tails were correct, but due to unforeseen circumstances some exhibits may not be able to attend, and others not listed may attend.
