Outside Redcar station and this road roller is getting a lot of attention, a very early date by the look of the small girls dress. Craig White tells us: ”I believe the Roller is a Redcar product! Which is possibly why the crowd are there. Mr Fred Senior of Rycroft Works, Redcar Lane, Redcar; was advertising these machines in the 1930’s and had taken out patents in 1910. Unusual machine in that the engine and transmission were contained within the roller wheel.”
