One of the later products manufactured at the works.
Stephen Garrett, one of the sons of the family, was enthusiastic about the internal combustion engine, this motor plough, developed before World War One was partly a result of this. Unfortunately Stephen was killed in the war and the company reverted to concentrating on steam whih may have contributed to their eventual demise.
This mechanical stoker engine was built by Garretts (with an e) following their takeover by Beyer Peacock for use on the latters Beyer Garratt (with an a) locomotives.
Garrett's built FE2b biplanes until 1919 when the contract was ended.
This single deck trolley bus was delivered to Ipswich Corporation in June 1926. The body was beyond saving when delivered to the museum in 1987.
This odd loco was built by Aveling & Porter in 1906 and sold to Gypsum Mines Ltd. It's a cross between a railway loco and a traction engine with a very short wheelbase but plenty of power for gradients. It was purchased by Garretts in 1929 retaining her name which is an anagram of Parisite, a plaster of paris product,
As I couldn't get a photo of the loco out of the shed I copied this picture.
Suffolk Punch is the sole survivor of 8 of these engines, built to compete with internal combustion engine tractors they were underpowered and too heavy for the land. This one ended its days as a stationary driving threshing machines.
Not swords to ploughshares but this illustrates the range of items produced.
My favourite spot!
