DVD: 150 YEARS OF MARSHALL & THE GAINSBOROUGH WORKS

William Marshall & Co. was one of the great names in Victorian agricultural engineering. From its base at the Britannia Works in Gainsborough the company sent steam engines, threshing equipment, tractors and other tackle all over Britain and the world.

Marshall's 150th Anniversary was celebrated at the works with a gathering of machines and enthusiasts, coming together for what may be the last time, as part of the site is being redeveloped as a supermarket. This DVD records that historic event, and takes the viewer inside the works as a range of Marshall machinery, from all over the country, return 'home'. Machinery on view included a full range of tractors, steam traction engines and road rollers, some of which participated in a road run, and a variety of smaller items bearing the company's famous name.

This DVD features ten minutes of previously unseen archive film of the Gainsborough works in full production in 1951. The factory, a forge and several machine shops building tractors are shown, as well as line assembly and testing of Field Marshall tractors. Other film shows a Marshall threshing set hard at work, and a First World War water pump, made by Marshall, demonstrating its post war uses in 1921.

New & unused DVD, guaranteed genuine original, not a copy.  Running time 55 mins.
