Burrell steam engines, once built in the Norfolk market town of Thetford, are amongst the best loved traction engines in today's preservation movement. The St. Nicholas Works of Charles Burrell & Sons. Ltd. never produced as many engines as the likes of John Fowler & Co. or Aveling & Porter, but they did gain a widspread reputation for quality and reliability.
The first Burrell road engine emerged in 1856, followed by portable engines, ploughing engines, general purpose engines, road locomotives, road rollers and wagons, all of which were built over the years. Our story discusses the development of these engines, including the much admired Burrell showmans road locomotives and special scenic showmans road locomotives that proved so desirable with the country's travelling fairground fraternity.
