1971 Angelina Foden Showmans Tractor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Foden Showman's Tractor number 12782, affectionately named Angelina, during a visit to York on May 16, 1971. The tractor, registered as DF 4055, is a fine example of the iconic Foden brand, which was renowned for its high-quality showman's tractors during the 1970s. Angelina, with her distinctive red and cream livery, was a popular attraction at various events and shows during that era. The steam engine in the background adds to the nostalgic charm of the scene, transporting us back to a time when transportation was a more leisurely and romantic experience. The Foden Showman's Tractor was a versatile vehicle, designed to tow trailers carrying fairground rides, stalls, and other attractions. Its powerful engine and robust construction made it an ideal choice for showmen and travelers, who relied on these tractors to transport their livelihoods from one location to another. The 1970s was a golden age for showman's tractors, and Foden's designs were among the most sought-after. Angelina, with her classic lines and elegant curves, is a testament to the enduring appeal of these vehicles. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and part of The William Kerry Collection, is a precious reminder of a bygone era when the simple pleasures of the fairground were a source of joy and excitement for people of all ages.
