Victorian Fire Engine

One of the treasures of the Regional Museum Store in Beamish Museum is this Shand Mason & Co.( London) horse-drawn fire engine "The Nelson", of the Victorian era. The engine, built around 1890, was based at Bishop Auckland in south Durham during it's working life. Behind it is a 1931 Dodge bus from Weardale.
