THE sight of vintage steam engines and machinery never fails to lift your spirits.

A look back at how things were done pre-industrial revolution can shed light on how things used to work with all the steam and sounds.

There are many vintage steam events going on around the county of Herefordshire including the Golden Valley Vintage and Country Fair which takes place this weekend.

The event at Gwatkin Cider farm in Abbey Dore on Saturday (June 10) is ““an old fashioned show bringing the Herefordshire community together” said organiser Denis Gwatkin who wants to provide a fun yet affordable family day out.
