Watching this prompted my parents to make a visit. We visited the following year 1988. Over the next 30 years I attended in many capacities from paying visitor to Showmans engine driver and a Show volunteer. Several momentous life events happening to me here at the third largest town in Dorset. #happymemories #Stourpane #SteamForEver

Ah, the old '87 steam fair. A classic year. Pure mayhem.

I was here the year after (1988). And twenty years before, I went on those very steam yachts at Harewood. I got very seasick.

1988 was my first year too

Michael Oliver quote we weren't know for good weather ha ha yes he was right I remember my father exhibiting at the early Stourpaine shows with Poole and district model railway society and having to be pulled up the hill to the road to get out This has bought back many happy memories and also from tarrant Hinton in later years as I haven't been now for about 5 years due to living in Thailand but I will be back for another show someday

Brilliant thanks for posting this

Anthony Burton - a legendary character if ever I saw one!

I had forgot about the steam boats 😵 they were the best thrill !!!

Fantastic

dont think i have seen a steam documentary for a long time which actually describes things in good detail.

Went 3 times, last time stayed over 2 nights....wonder I could find my way back to my tent.....

I'd love to know the names of the organ music we hear in this. Especially the one used at the end.

If you look at 34:30 you can see the steam gallopers which Carters now run.

VintageLynx Those are Noyce's gallopers, which are still with the same owners, and Harry Lee's yachts are now with the Saunders Collection. John Carter bought his gallopers in the 1970s. Nice film though, I have it on betamax somewhere.
