A day out in Alford

It has become customary that the final steam event of the year is in October at the Alford Heritage Museum. These photographs were taken at last years event, however we are pleased to confirm that locally based engines Buster and Orinoco will be in steam on display at the museum on Sunday 26th October 2025.

Why not come along and see some road steam for one final time in 2025.
