Nice old house

samn40 · Jan 23, 2013

Found these pics of Harry Ferguson's house in England. I took a coach load of tractor fanatics to see this last March. we had 7 Americans and 5 Canadians in our party. Harry lived here when he was building the little grey Fergies and he also died in this house. The man in the forefront of the last pic is old Ray Feardon. Ray was Harry's gardener since he was 14 years old. He had only good to say about him. He was able to tell us many interesting stories.

nice! Sounds like a fun trip.

Yeah, I lived in a house that was just a little bit nicer and bigger than that. I got rid of in favor of this little ranch house I am in now. The bigger house was just too much grass to cut and too much dusting for the missus.

Looks like old Harry did alright .

The house is near the village of Upper Swell in Gloucestershire, England. Iam running another trip this year around a few tractor collections and even going into London to see the famous Black Tractor. Also going to the JCB factory.
The house is still privately owned by a wealthy American!!!!!
It is not generally open to the public.

samn40,
Thanks for posting.

Are you sure it is a house and not a small castle? Pretty impressive.

Where is the shop at ? I don't see any tractors. I think you got your Fergies confused. (And that guy in the front is not fourteen neither.)
