Dredging with James Lowther Gallery
Sandringham dredging a lake at Ledbury, Herefordshire, in December 1996. PAUL STRATFORD
1987 and the pair were to be found in Wales at the time of the legendary ‘Michael Fish’ hurricane. Windsor is seen on a very narrow dyke, held on the ledge by wires.
The muddy scoop!
James Lowther (left) continued the tradition of commercially dredging with steam. He is seen here with Peter Haining, trustee of the new owners.
Sandringham on the job at Chippenham, a location where Boz managed to get the engine into a four-wheeled slide. Steering into the slide brought 18 tons of engine into the trees and it had to be winched out.
The engineman adopts the standard posture on Sandringham, with Windsor seen in the distance.
