could be that the engines were being transported secretly(so far off shore)to some where further south(small ship)possibly to be taken to france???
have you found out what shipping restrictions road restrictions etc were in place ??

It is very sad news indeed. My condolences go out to Martin and Family. He will be greatly missed but the legacy he has left behind in the form of GDSF means he will never forgotten.

Hello
My Grandfather was a contractor in South Shropshire between the 1920s and 1950s. He ownder around 30 traction engines. My father would like to know if any of them are still on the road. We have no record of engine numbers etc. But can say that they belonged to Clement (Clem) Shaw of Farley, Nr Ironbridge. Any help or pointers to other websites very welcome. Many thanks, Andrew Shaw
