The sights and sounds of steam filled the air as the 59th Masham Steam Engine & Fair Organ Rally returned over the weekend.
Hundreds of exhibits, including traction engines, vintage vehicles and beautifully restored machinery, were on display across the two-day event on Saturday (Jul 18) and Sunday (Jul 19).
The annual rally was first held in 1965 as a fundraising effort to help save Masham Town Hall after concerns it could be lost through a lack of funding.
What began as a community fundraiser has grown into one of Yorkshire's best-known heritage events, attracting exhibitors and visitors from across the country.
This year the rally continues to celebrate Britain's engineering history while raising funds to support the upkeep of the town hall that inspired its creation.
