FOWLER 15813

For most people the centre point of our display is our 1921 Fowler Steam Roller. Known as ‘Elsie’ to some, the engine carries the works number of 15813 and being a Fowler build she originates from Leeds in Yorkshire.

She was used from new by the West Riding District Council on road construction and maintenance under the control of Skipton Urban District Council and was a much cherished engine in the localities that she worked.

A full and detailed history of her life will be added to this website in due course, included the recent rebuild and undertaking of major works.

 

We are currently busy collecting data and photos of her throughout her life so if you can assist at all in any way with any material, we would be delighted to hear from you.
