Ilkeston - Heritage & Classic
Vehicle Show
w/e 13 August 2023
All of this week's pictures were taken with a Nikon D3300.
The Show returned to the town centre on Sunday 13th August with
the usual array of cars, buses, lorries, motor bikes and other
assorted vehicles to the delight of all heritage and classic
vehicle enthusiasts.
The weather did improve later but when I was there at lunchtime,
it had just started to rain. Umbrellas were starting to go up
on the Lower Market Place where there was a display of American
vehicles.
|
At the the top of Bath Street a Heritage Stock Car was parked
but as the rainfall began to become heavier, people were hurrying
past.
|
Returning to the Market Place I passed a line of military vehicles.
|
Pimlico car park also had a line of vehicles down one side but
these were agricultural vehicles.
|
The other side of the car park had a selection of lorries.
|
Also on Pimlico was this old Fire Engine. Don't know where it
is based these days but I'm pretty sure it didn't come all the
way from Devon for this event.
|
Even older engines were steaming away on Wharncliffe Road.
|
While on South Street, newer but classic sports cars were parked.
|
At one time of day, buses lined up on the Market Place would
have been a common sight but not any longer. More buses were
also occupying the current bus stops on Wharncliffe Road along
with the steam engines.
|
As the rain beat down even harder, bikers left their motor cycles
around the Cenotaph and took shelter which was my cue to put
the camera away and head for home to dry out .... and the weather
improved!
