The 44th Annual Bromyard Gala was held in glorious warm sunshine all weekend of 2nd & 3rd July on the Birchyfields site just outside Bromyard.
One of the features of this event is that is coincides with the town's carnival, and a select number of exhibits are invited to join the carnival and make its way through the streets.
Bromyard, a hill side town in the Royal Forest of Dean, Herefordshire, is a wonderful mixture and blend of black and white half timbered properties, with Georgian and Victorian architecture. The procession is assembled on the disused railway bed prior to its run round this historic town.
It was a typical colourful English rural scene. Bunting festooned the main streets and a vast number of townsfolk and visitors lined the route to welcome the parade.
Only in Britain can we do this best!
These are some of the views taken from the 'big wheel' of the steam section and the grand parade ring beyond.
As Chairman of the North Worcestershire Vintage Tractor and Engine Club, we were invited to attend the event and put on a club display. The Ford 2000 belongs to me, whilst the Wheelhorse and Ford 1200 belong to Mr Matthew Bisp of Rubery.
What a fine pair of Bristols! These lorry's are very rare indeed and have been lovingly restored to their present condition.

Are now I have my early railway days hat on. Many of these Scammels were to be scene round the towns and cities during the steam halcyon days.
