“The Lincoln Trams” (17 minutes) is described by Producer Andrew Blow (ex-ITV Yorkshire) as “a thoroughly enjoyable documentary ride with the trams which ran from the depot in Bracebridge to the City Centre and back between 1882 and 1929.”
Also on the DVD “The Ruston in the Blue Lagoon” (47) minutes is the incredible story of the world’s oldest working excavator – a steam navvy made by Ruston Proctor & Co in 1909. It tells of the dogged determination of engineering historian Ray Hooley, who led an 18-month campaign to rescue Navvy no. 306 from a watery grave, where it had spent 47 years.
Thanks to Ray, a team from the Vintage Excavator Trust, and a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, this amazing piece of Edwardian history will work on into the future at the Trust’s public working weekends.
