Leisure Lakes Steam and Vintage Festival, Tarleton, near Southport.
This Festival had all sorts of vintage vehicles on display including Motor Cycles, Vintage cars and Tractors.
Here are a small selection of Steam Wagons and Steam Tractors, they were all steamed up and ready to go.
I will post some more vintage vehicles later, so I hope you enjoy these.

Can't find the pictures ... !
They're on now, have another look.
Very nice!
I recall attending some while living in Dorset in 1983. Slogging around the mud in our wellies was great fun. Looks like you found dry weather.
Those were the days ! Great shots John!
Nice set John - nearly went there myself but the wife wanted to go and see our Daughter in Manchester - maybe next time!!
Great set of some very interesting vehicles John.

Great photos. I love the steam traction engines and steam lorries and there seem to be a lot of great working examples in the UK.
Very interesting vehicles. Thanks for sharing
