THOUSANDS of people are expected to descend on Lymm village tomorrow, Sunday, for the annual Lymm Historic Transport Day, when there will be a number of road closures in place.
The popular event, first organised by local resident Alan Williams, will see the May Queen Field come alive with horse-drawn carriages, bicycles and classic cars.
Maple Lodge will be packed to the rafters with epic Lego displays, while the Village Hall will be showcasing stunning model railways and a contingent of steam engines will be on Henry St Car Park overlooking dozens of old working boats on the canal. This year, there will also be a vintage scalextric course, a cutting-edge flight simulator and Fred Dibnah’s iconic Land Rover, amongst many other attractions. With vehicles and attractions coming from all over the country, it’s set to be a day not to be missed!
