1776 MANN PATENT STEAM CART & WAGON
CO LTD STEAM WAGON “Uncle Walt”
Reg. No. TF 2598
Engine No. 881
Built: 1914
Motion: Compound, 2speed
Just one of four Mann steam wagons
known to be in preservation of a total of
just 12 Mann steam engines left in existence
in the UK. Established by J H Mann,
who was formerly apprenticed to J & H
McLaren & Co and the Marshall & Sons in
Leeds in 1894, the business manufactuered
steam engines and stationary engines. By
1901 the business had moved to Pepper
Road, Leeds and the period up to and
including the first World War was to be its
most successful. The company
concentrated production on 3ton and 5ton
wagons although there were many variations
from brewers wagons to municipal
dust carts. This particular Reading registered
example was built for use on the battlefields
of France pulling guns as a tractor.
On its return to England it was purchased
by Fylde Council for general haulage and
then to well-known road makers Isaac Balls
and used as a light roller. It is understood
that the engine was sold into preservation
in the last 1950’s to Messrs Cole Bros of
Leeds but no work was carried out.
Following its acquisition by Gerry Proctor of
Nidd the engine was stripped down and put
into storage. In 1984 it was purchased by I
& D Fearnley & Son and restored to ites present
condition. In 1991 it received a new
fire box, smoke box, tube plate, tubes, boiler
barrel, chassis, water tanks, bunkers, cab
& body, in addition the wheels received
new rubber tyres. It is offered for sale with
current (February 2008) boiler certificate.
