The team were wonderfully looked after by the Stithians Cornish Steam and Country Fair. Thank you!

Although the weather on Thursday did not bode well for the three day event it proved to be spot on for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

As at many of our previous roadshows we had plenty of visitors coming to our digitisation trailer. It was particularly interesting to meet many steam enthusiasts who were able to name a number of the individuals in our collection of steam engine and Stithians show related images; this included several generations of one family!
