EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Burrell General Purpose Engine NO106, registration number 2948, affectionately known as Dreadnought. Built in the heart of Norfolk, England, by Charles Burrell & Sons in Thetford during 1927, this engineering marvel was a testament to the company's innovation and craftsmanship. Powered by an 8 Nhp (Nominal Horsepower) single cylinder steam engine, this Burrell engine was a versatile piece of machinery that could be used for various farming tasks. The steam-powered tractor, with its distinctive design and robust construction, was a common sight on British farms during the 1970s and 1980s. The Burrell General Purpose Engine NO106, with its regal moniker Dreadnought, was a symbol of the agricultural industry's rich history. Its steam-powered engine, a relic of a bygone era, was a reminder of the ingenuity and determination of the farmers and engineers who relied on such machinery to till the land and cultivate crops. This photograph, taken during the later decades of the 20th century, captures the essence of a time when steam-powered machinery was an integral part of rural life. The Burrell General Purpose Engine NO106, with its proud presence and unwavering reliability, continues to evoke a sense of nostalgia and admiration for the agricultural past.
