The heritage steam boiler specialist HA McEwen (Boiler Repairs) Ltd is this month celebrating its 50th anniversary. Established in August 1968, the company operates from its base in Cowling, North Yorkshire, and over the decades has undertaken a vast range of projects from new boiler builds to steam boiler repair and restoration projects on all types of vintage shell, locomotive, traction engine and steam launch boilers.
Working with some of the country’s leading heritage organisations, including the National Railway Museum in York, Beamish Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, McEwen’s longevity is in part down to being able to provide traditional boiler-making skills and techniques that are no longer widely practiced.
