A flour mill powered by a steam engine will be a highlight at this year's Strumpshaw Trosh.

The annual event will take place during September 5-6 at the Strumpshaw Steam Museum, showcasing vintage agricultural machinery.

The portable flour mill, an innovation in its time, will be powered by Little Gem - a Ransomes Sims & Jefferies steam engine built in 1910.

The mill, owned by Suffolk resident Keith Honour, will operate at the Trosh event for the first time.

Other exhibits include a Burrell steam roller, owned by Alex Kirkwood, which appeared in a 1986 episode of 'Allo 'Allo.

The event will feature around 12 working steam engines, 25 miniature engines and 40 tractors or horticultural machines.

The museum will also be open, offering fairground rides, exhibits and a café.

Trade and craft stalls, a bar and catering vans will also be present.

Tickets, which include museum entry, cost £10 per adult, with free entry for children under 16 and free parking.

The event will operate from 10am to 5pm on both days.
