Harold Bonnett
Founder of the Steam Plough Club

Harold Bonnett was captivated at an early age by the sound and sight of engines passing through his village in Lincolnshire.  He subsequently joined the Great Northern Railway and worked for the railway all his life.  But his real love was the steam plough and he founded the Club in 1966.
