The County of Salop Steam Engine Society has been in existence for over 50 years, with its first rally being held in Church Stretton in 1961. The event has grown to be an award winning rally being one of the best of its kind in the UK and one of the main events in the Shropshire calendar. Throughout the two days of the rally there are cavalcades of vintage tractors on the move, a convoy of historic commercial vehicles, vintage cycles and perambulators (with many entrants in period costume), pre and post World War II cars, veteran cars, classic motorcycles and steam cars. The ever-popular heavy horses also take their turn in the arena. The past has never been so popular and the Rally is an exciting mix of impressive working machines that capture the history and heritage of farming as it evolved through the last century. Our exhibitors breathe new life into the past with demonstrations from harvesting with reaper binders to chaff cutting and hammer milling, involving many early tractors, rare implements and machinery. We have steam cultivation and teams of shire horses will also be ploughing part of the site to complete the spectacle of pastoral delight! Visitors will be able to take a unique journey back in time when we turn the clock back for two days in the beautiful farming landscape of Onslow Park!
