Holkham Hall - Bygones Museum - Leyland Fire Engine -1915

This is Holkham Hall.

Holkham Hall is the home of the Coke family.

The Holkham Estate was purchased in 1609 by Sir Edward Coke. The house was built in the 18th century for Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester.

This is the Bygones Museum at Holkham Hall.

It was started in 1979 by Dick Joice, who hosted a popular proramme on Anglia TV called Bygones.

It is in the stable block built in the 1850s.

Photos at Holkham Hall are not for commerical use. You can take photos here for personnal use only.

I saw kids playing on this, and thought that you weren't supposed to touch them. But maybe it is ok with this old fire engine.

It is a Leyland Fire Engine from 1915.

It was made for the London Fire Brigade but was sent to Holkham in 1939, in case it was needed.

When I took this, as I was leaving, didn't notice the kids playing on it.

Unique shot.

Last few shots before I left Bygones.
