1919 Stanley 735B
What a terrible site. The 1919 Stanley 735B 7 passenger tourer completely distroyed.
To its right can be seen the IHC Titan tractor. The fire was so intence that bronze fittings melted
On the Stanley all aluminium, glass and brass had burnt or melted most bronze was damaged as well.
Only the klinger glass that was black but looked intact had survived. Even the aluminium engine bulkhead had melted.
The IHC Titan tractor before the fire
With some of the roof sheets removed, all the motorcycles had been distroyed
and in the background the Sawyer Massey traction engine and a large stationary engine.
The heat of the blaze was such that some of the wheels of both tractors had flattened rims and buckeled spokes.
Helpers arrive to start helping the massive clear up.
By April 2007 a new building takes shape.
