SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2022 AT 12 PM – 4 PM
The Scammell 100
100 years of Scammell in Watford, King George V playing fields, Tolpits Lane Watford.
The 1st May 2022 is the centenary of the founding of Scammell Lorries Limited – prior to this the trading Company was G Scammell & Nephew.
To commemorate the founding of Scammell Lorries Limited and the move from Fashion Street in Spitalfields, London, to Tolpits Lane, Watford, The Scammell Register is holding a celebration of Scammell products.
Thanks to Watford Council we have the use of The King George V Playing Fields for a Scammell gathering over the 1st May weekend.
The playing fields are in Tolpits Lane, between the site of the original and latter Scammell factories.
We intend to celebrate all things Scammell; the lorries and all associated Scammell products.
As well as the gathering on the playing fields, which will be open to the public Sunday 1st May 10am – 4pm there will be a road run leaving the playing fields at 4.30pm.Information from the Scammell Register: https://scammellregister.co.uk/
