A Short history of Taskers of Andover

I pay a visit to Milestones Museum in Basingstoke and end up looking for the remains of Taskers Waterloo Iron Works at Anna Valley

Wow, this is such a fascinating look into the history of Taskers of Andover! 🏭 I had no idea they were such a big player in agricultural and road equipment. I especially love seeing the photos and descriptions of their old machines - so cool! 👍✨ I find it really interesting that they started as a small blacksmith shop and grew into this massive operation. It makes me want to visit the Milestones Museum to see even more of their stuff!

Hi Lionel, nice film, an interesting tour and museum, I could smell the oil on those machines. I had an uncle that drove a steam roller, I can see him now in shirt sleeves with a waistcoat on and his jacket on a hook under the canopy. Thanks for the memory. Ron

@philnewcomers9170 Can you imagine what it must have been to actually work in those conditions?
