An eminent early preservationist, John Crawley was able to amass an
enviable photographic archive of steam traction engines and road
rollers in their working days, of which this Aveling & Porter
selection formed just a part. Organiser of over eighty steam
rallies, John saved up to thirty steam traction engines for
preservation from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s, at a time when
they were considered not much more than worthless scrap. Indeed, he
became the first owner of no fewer than twenty-two of them.
Utilising this incredible and unique collection of images, most of
which are previously unpublished, Colin Tyson tells the story of
this important manufacturer and iconic British brand.
