This old Parkson has fallen into my greedy hands ! It may have been a wartime import . It came with a dividing head and vise . The factory was in Shipley ? Bradford I think . Geography is not my strongest subject.

93 forum posts 22 photos | Yes I do have a shed full of stuff ...Hmm it has become a problem . The old Parky will be outside for a while , it has been well oiled and is covered over . The Winters here in S.E. Australia are not as bad as other places can be. The mill may have been used in a munitions factory . I have seen other examples of wartime machinery with the 'war finish' tag . The series 1 Land Rovers were popular around here , many farmers had one . The Land Rover was the only vehicle of its type available , apart from worn out WW2 Jeeps.
