Description

B/W photograph of a number of early 20th century steam engines or tractors, a large barn in the background and men milling about. Clothing pictured suggests that this photograph was taken in the 1950s, well after such steam engines were in practical usage, suggesting that this is an exhibition of some kind. This photo is from the White Oak Farm near Greenmount.
