Traction Engine "Kitchener"
This fine old traction engine dating from 1902 was visiting the Dacorum Steam and Country Fayre - however the ground was so badly soaked from a deluge when she arrived that she was unable to enter the display area for fear of getting bogged down under her enormous weight (about 18 tons). So she is seen here languishing in the farmyard. Fortunately, as I know the owners, I was lucky enough to have a look around her and even clamber on board for a view from the driver's cab - see Image]
"Kitchener" was built by John Fowler & Co. for the haulier Norman E. Box of Manchester and she has been beautifully restored in the appropriate livery. In her day she could have hauled as much as a hundred tons!

"Kitchener" Traction Engine - The driver's view
A view from inside the cab of the superbly restored traction engine "Kitchener" looking along the con-rods of this mighty piece of steam engineering dating from 1902 and restored by its current owners about 100 years later.
As can be seen, the view from the driving position is decidedly limited and on the roads it really requires two people to operate. See Image] for a view of the whole engine.

Little Heath Pit
Sand and gravel dug from the heath for road surfacing and sandbags for protection from First World War bombs created a pit which has exposed an important geological feature. The pit is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest because it shows layers of beach gravels and sand deposited from a sea which existed some 2.6 million years ago.
