Playground steam roller and Corfe Castle
This weeks photos are from April when we had a holiday in Dorset.
A playground with a steam roller!
This is a playground in Dorchester, Dorset which I believe has the last of the playground rollers. For many years local councils had rollers in their playgrounds for childern to play on. Now they have been sold off and people have restored them back into steaming steam rollers. This is an Aveling and Porter roller.
The brightly coloured roller
While we were in the playground taken photos this was about the only time there weren't any children climbing on it.
