The Shropshire Mines Trust will be putting on a display at the County of Salop Steam Fair, to be held just outside Shrewsbury this weekend, apart from a couple of winches, trucks and rails. We will have an operational rock crusher that was used at Snailbeach, an eimco rocker shovel in use, a working rock drill to name but a few exhibits

IA recordings, Shropshire Bat Group, Shropshire Caving and Mining Club, The Shropshire Mines Trust and Moorebooks wil also have stands in the Trust marquee and flogging their wares

The steam fair is a great event itself - If you come along do introduce yourselves you will be most welcome. You might even get a chance to do some rock crushing

Me - if SWMBO and daughter will let me, I couldn't get to St.Agnes during my hols because they said "We've already been to one steam fair (Malvern) and they are all the same, so there are other more important things to do." More important being standing on the beach as a suitable easily recognised marker point while they cavorted on body boards in the waves. 😢 (I don't swim)

Cheers
