John Fowler and Co.
What is your favourite traction engine of all time?
Fowlers are one of the best known names in the steam engine world, having produced a wide range of engines for both hoe and overseas markets. Their Steam Plough Works in Leeds began production in 1861 and in its heyday provided employment for over 2500 men on a 15-acre site. Leading the market for many years in the production of ploughing engines, the first of which were produced in 1870, the company soon progressed in to the traction engine and road locomotive market.
