Amberley Museum and Petersfield Art event

This is a selection of photos that I took back in June.

The first 3 were taken at Amberley Chalk Pits Museum, Amberley, West Sussex, during their Steam Event which they have each year.

The last 4 were taken in Petersfield where we were asked to attend, with Victoria, a new arts and crafts event. A very enjoyable time we had at both.

Marshall Roller "Joan"

Marshall Roller "Joan"

This is a 1925 Marshall Roller, No 79669 called Joan, Reg No PX2690.

I have very fond memories of this engine from when I was a young girl. A friend of ours used to drive it and my family and I used to go to the local steam rallies every weekend where Joan, or Ruth as she was known then, would be. We would all spend many hours chuffing round and enjoying our time with her.

Burrell Traction Engine "William The Second"

Burrell Traction Engine "William The Second"

This is a Burrell traction engine called William the Second, year 1926, No. 4048 Reg No. PW8905.

The nice thing about this event is there are lots of roads to trundle around on, so whatever the weather there is always something driving around the site.

It's a nice event with quite a few engines and the musuem is worth a visit.

Through the smoke

Through the smoke

A few of the engines outside the station in the museum's grounds. They have train and bus rides all day. They also had a trailer behind a tracton engine which was giving rides around the site.
Victoria on Petersfield Square

Victoria on Petersfield Square

This was for The Arts and Crafts event which was held for the first time this year. All the stalls were on the square, and Victoria of course. It was an enjoyable event with lots of interest.

By the end of the day our dog "Jess" had had enough and found a shady spot under Victoria.
