A 1970s/1980s photo of the wigan based traction engine "lively Lady",at an unknown steam fair.
Apparantly this traction engine was cared for by Andy Prior,who sang lead vocals with the Wigan youth jazz orchestra,the engine featured on the cover of the 1980s "steaming jazz"album by the wigan youth jazz orchestra (photos for the album were shot outside trencherfield mill).
I havent seen this engine for years,the last thing that i had heard it was in bits at haigh hall (possibly being overhauled?)
