EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic Fowler Traction Engine No. 7786 Alfred, proudly displayed at the 1959 Andover Steam Rally. Built in 1898 by the esteemed John Fowler & Co Engineers of Leathley Road, Hunslet, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, this historical machine is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the era. Fowler, a renowned name in the industrial world, was not only known for producing traction engines but also ploughing implements and equipment, as well as railway vehicles. The company's legacy spanned over a century, leaving an indelible mark on transportation history. Engine No. 7786 Alfred, with its distinctive design and powerful presence, had previously attended the Andover Steam Rally in 1956. The photograph, taken in 1959, showcases the engine in all its glory, surrounded by the vibrant atmosphere of the rally, with steam billowing from its stack and its gleaming metal body reflecting the sunlight. The Fowler traction engine, a marvel of engineering, represents a bygone era when steam power ruled the industrial landscape. Its presence at the rally serves as a reminder of the rich history of transportation technology and the companies that shaped it, such as John Fowler & Co Engineers.
