Buried in the undergrowth at the side of Cleveland Way near the cliff top at Port Mulgrave are the rusting remains of a Blackstone No.1 Digger
Blackstone & Co were based in Stamford, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. This piece of farm machinery was a potato spinner and probably dates from the 1930s as Lister took over Blackstone & Co in 1937 to form Lister Blackstone.
Here is an intact model.

This seems familiar, i think we have walked past it on one of our circulars. Forgive my ignorance of such matters, but is Lister the same company who manufactures engines for boats?
