Hollycombe Steam Fair, summer 2002

Photos taken at Hollycombe Steam Collection, Liphook in Hampshire. A unique collection of steam attractions including a complete Edwardian Steam Fair, railways and traction engines.
Visiting Hollycombe is a unique experience, and there is something to interest and fascinate people of all ages. These photos were taken on a family trip whereby three generations of my family went there together in the summer of 2002. I have fond childhood memories of many hours spent at Hollycombe with my own grandmother in the early 1980s, and it's thanks to the volunteers who keep Hollycombe alive today that my own children are now able go there with their grandparents. Hollycombe is operated by volunteers who share the same goal: to keep the age of steam alive. The steam collection holds much history and the atmosphere at Hollycombe is one of quaint nostalgia!
