 Aveling Porter Ploughing Engine with Cecil Baldwin on the left and Charles Polley on the right [though Ron Green who knew Cecil, thinks he is Cecil on the right]. They both worked for Fairhead of Peldon for several years. Charles was the older brother of Pat Polley - great grandfather of Helen Jones who sent the picture. She says he worked the engines for many years, even in the 1939 Census. He liked a drink, and playing the squeeze box. The Polley family were very close to the Howard family who also worked on the engines and were also from Ardleigh. Some of the registration number is just visible - NO66 .. NO registrations were issued in Essex between January 1921 and July 1923.
One of a pair of Aveling & Porter, 8hp, compound, steam ploughing engines, numbers 9147 & 9148, new in June 1920, purchased second-hand by William G. Fairhead's descendants in August 1922. (William died in October 1918) They were given the road registrations NO6694 and NO6695.
