The Company of W.J. KING holds a special place in the preservation world, with 35 steam vehicles from his fleet surviving, plus many other items of interest including commercial vehicles, tractors and other agricultural equipment. Several small gatherings, and meetings of equipment have already taken place, across the country as different exhibits have appeared from their years of restoration, however, the club intents to gather together in Somerset, as far as possible ALL vehicles and other items of interest that were previously owned by King's. This event is potentially the largest gathering of preserved machinery from one company that has taken place, and is unlikely to be surpassed in the foreseeable future. Most of the steam exhibits have been contacted ith the exception of the following which are still being traced. There is also a large number of other machines, tractors, rollers etc.
Any help given in tracing the missing items is much appreciated.
If any company, or individual, would like to help sponsor this event, please contact Jerry Hawkins from whom full details are available. Mr Jerry Hawkins - Vice Chairman Somerset Traction Engine Club, Barn Owl Cottage, Meare Green, Stoke St. Gregory, Taunton, Somerset TA3 6HX, United Kingdom.
