As Chairman of the North Worcestershire Vintage Tractor & Engine Club, I am proud to present a selection of photographs I took on Saturday 28th May on the occasion of our club's Summer BBQ held once again by kind permission of Maurice Allely, founder of the family business of Allelys Group Specialist and Heavy Haulage.
Haydon Way Farm just outside Studley in Warwickshire is owned by the Allely's Group and is still a working farm. Maurice has a superb collection of vintage tractors and other vehicular memorabilia, and gets every thing our for this weekend. All but two are starters! Furthermore every one of these tractors, vehicles, threshing box and living van are kept under cover well out of the worst of the weather.
Here we see some of the restored collection of early vehicles (not the 'Green Goddess') used by Maurice in the early days of the business.
This fine example of an early circa 1950's Thornycroft has just been recently restored. I witnessed this lorry in the Allely's workshop very early and was in a sorry state. The restoration is stunning to say the least.
It is set up time at the BBQ before the hordes of visitors descend upon us.
The next group of photos I took from the roof of Maurice's workshop of the display of vehicle memorabilia.
The arrival of Paul Davis and Miles Banks with the Burrell road locomotive and trailer and restored living van in tow.Notice the Burrell blowing its tits off!
The cool evening air begins to descend upon the festivities. A small selection of us stopped over for the evening to ensure all alcohol was consumed. Good thing I took the caravan for me to sleep in.
