DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Jack Hampshire grew up in the early years of the 20th Century in Sussex, where his father owned a threshing and haulage business. From an early age he was looking after steam traction engines, and driving them on the road when barely in his teens. This is his memoirs of this time in his life, which lasted until the firm shut in 1928, and is an almost unique telling of what it was really like to work with road steam on a commercial basis.

The informative text is accompanied by illustrations that show something of the age in which traction engines worked and of the age when they became treasured historic relics. Engines appear at rallies and other events all over Great Britain and in many other countries. On these occasions they are visited and admired by thousands of people and are now part of our engineering heritage.
