Charles Burrell & Sons of Thetford, Norfolk were builders of steam traction engines, agricultural machinery, steam trucks and steam tram engines. The companies origin's went back to 1770.[1] They were members of the Agricultural & General Engineers combine.
History[]
Burrell's operated out of St Nicholas Works in Thetford from their establishment as a foundry and agricultural machinery works by Joseph Burrell in 1803. Joseph's nephew Charles (1817 - 1906) built the company's first steam engine in 1846.
Charles Burrell & Sons employed over 350 people (date ?) and exported to all corners of the world. The company produced munitions during the First World War. The company closed in 1928.
The Charles Burrell Museum (Longshop museum) opened in 1991 and is housed in the former Paint Shop on Minstergate in Thetford. The collections include a Charles Burrell and Sons Ltd steam roller and traction engine, parts of several Burrell engines, factory machinery, and items linked to the Burrell Family.
Apparently Burrells only built 4094 engines, according to the factory build records. The last showmans engine built was Simplicity no. 4092 a 8 nhp machine which left the works in October 1930, this engine actually being finished by Garretts following Burrells demise.[2]
New Burrell Engine[]
The Burrell name is owned by a descendant of the Burrell family and his engineering company is to built a new Burrell Engine for a collector who owns several of there machines.[3]

R.Parrott Collection[]
- Main article: R. Parrott collection
This private collection of steam engines is based at Weeting, Nr. Thetford and has several other makes of machines in the collection, many of which are exhibited at the Weeting Steam Engine Rally and Country Show, held in Weeting village each July. The Show is organised by Mr. Parrott and Friends and has grown over the years to be one of the larger steam events in the country with over 75 engines in 2009. Mr. Parrott is also a trustee of the Charles Burrell Museum, which with the Saunders collection and Strumpshaw Hall Steam Museum exhibit a number of engines each year (predominantly Burrell's).
- some of the collections engines
- "Century" of 1877 - Works No. 748, the oldest known Burrell in the world.
- "Dreadnought" 8 hp engine of 1907 - Works No. 2948.
- 3-speed engine of 1905 - Works No. 2764, which resides in New Zealand.
- A 10 hp "Big-engine" Replica of No. 3130 is being built as Works No. 4095, for delivery by July 2009. ** Project apparently on hold, according to some reports in 2008.[citation (source) needed]
