abstract	Burrell's operated out of St Nicholas Works in Thetford from their establishment as a foundry and agricultural machinery works by Joseph Burrell in 1803. Joseph's nephew Charles (1817 - 1906) built the company's first steam engine in 1846. Charles Burrell & Sons employed over 350 people (date ?) and exported to all corners of the world. The company produced munitions during the First World War. The company closed in 1928. The Charles Burrell Museum (Longshop museum) opened in 1991 and is housed in the former Paint Shop on Minstergate in Thetford. The collections include a Charles Burrell and Sons Ltd steam roller and traction engine, parts of several Burrell engines, factory machinery, and items linked to the Burrell Family. Apparently Burrells only built 4094 engines, according to the factory build records. The last showmans engine built was Simplicity no. 4092 a 8 nhp machine which left the works in October 1930, this engine actually being finished by Garretts following Burrells demise.
