EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural England during the 1960s-1970s, as two historic general purpose engines, the Clayton & Shuttleworth CT 8260 (registration number CT 8260, built in 1918) and the Allchin FP 1259 (registration number FP 1259, built in 1922), stand proudly side by side. Both engines were manufactured by renowned British engineering firms, Clayton & Shuttleworth of Lincoln and Wm. Allchin Ltd, respectively. The Clayton & Shuttleworth CT 8260, with its distinctive red livery and compound steam engine producing 7 Nhp, was built in 1918. Its impressive design and robust construction made it an ideal choice for heavy farming tasks. The Allchin FP 1259, on the other hand, was a single-cylinder steam engine, also producing 7 Nhp, and was manufactured by Wm. Allchin Ltd in 1922. Despite their age, these engines continued to play a vital role in rural transportation during this period. The photograph showcases their enduring appeal and the dedication of their owners to preserving the rich heritage of agricultural engineering. The scene is a testament to the ingenuity and hard work of the past, as these magnificent machines stood the test of time and contributed to the farming community in a significant way.
