Sir John Fowler again
This engine for us is very special as he also belonged to my husband's great grandad along with our engine "Victoria". They stood next to each other along with another engine called "Albert" for many years in the shed in Petersfield Hampshire. We had seen the engine before but along time ago and sitting in a shed looking very sorry for himself. It was great when here we could see he was being loved and looked after, Lloyd (my husband) had a great day with him and the Cook family who now own him.
