Auntie Jack Makes Rare Appearance
Auntie Jack, a Marshall portable steam engine once owned by the Maldon Progress Association,
was on display at the Maldon Show in October last year. The engine, one
of the gems of the Maldon Museum collection, had been stored in a shed away
from public view for many, many years. The good news is that Auntie Jack will be back
for the 2004 Show.
