1896 Thornycroft steam van, The British Commercial Vehicle Museum, King Street, Leyland

Increase in the speed limit to 14 mph in 1896 promoted the increase in steam driven vehicles. This front wheel drive rear steer van was built by John Isaac Thornycroft of Chiswick and first took to the road on 2 Jan. 1897. In Newport, Mr William Duncan tried to climb aboard his newly delivered van whilst it was moving and slipped. Run over by his own vehicle this was the first motor vehicle accident in Wales resulting in the amputation of one of William's feet. One of the earliest steam road vehicles it was powered by a coke fired steamboat engine by Simpson Strickland and Co. Dartmouth.

Steam Lawnmower, 1896

Built by James Sumner in the early 1890s this was the beginning of a thriving business, Lancashire Steam Motors Co., that became Leyland Motors. This is a replica, from an original belonging to Repton College, with an original engine re-built by Leyland Apprentices. I wonder how many kg of coal and litres of water it would use per 100 sq. m., and if it would be ULEZ/COP26 compliant?
