David Brown Tractor Club Ltd — Attraction in Kirklees

I was lucky enough to be able to visit this hidden gem, which even though it's small, is packed full of history and nostalgia. With a strong family connection to David Brown's it was interesting for me to see a selection of vintage tractors and memorabilia, some of them still in an unbelievably good condition.

We were also welcomed with teas and coffees from their kitchen and later enjoyed an excellent buffet lunch. Altogether a great day out thoroughly enjoyed by the eighteen people...
