Guest speaker Ron Feakes will discuss the work of Savages, the King’s Lynn steam engine manufacturing business which was formed in 1850 by local businessman and Mayor Frederick Savage. In this talk Ron will discuss some of Savages’ lesser-known creations, including the fascinating ‘Little Samson’ steam tractors, as well as the industrial and financial challenges which ultimately brought about the end of steam traction at the ironworks.
