Earlier this year we had the privilege of having some VIP guests in relation to our beloved Soame Steam Cart!
Emma Furness's great, great grandfather was part of the team that built the Soame back in the day. We are very happy to have visitors with such special links to one of our key exhibits, history is indeed an ongoing tapestry of stories and bloodlines.
Come and see the steam cart running and offering rides on one of our open steam days.
