Fowler 9924, described as an A4 Compound Agricultural on Springs, was delivered new to John Harrison, farmer of Aldwick, Sussex on 5 October 1904. In 1929 it was sold to Walter Loveys, Bilsham, Sussex and was acquired in 1944 by James Penfold, Arundel, Sussex. In 1955 Robert Whitehead of Tonbridge, Kent bought the engine for preservation and named the engine after the person for whom it had last worked. The ownership of "James Penfold" was transferred to Gillian Walters in October 2005.
This year (2008) we have attended the Huddersfield Readymix Concrete Rally in may. It was ably driven the 5.5 miles to the event by Richard Hullah assisted by David Crapper. We are hoping to attend the traction engine rally at Harewood House on Sunday 24th and Monday 25th August.
