Only in the past century and a half have we enjoyed the luxury of a well-maintained, surfaced network of roads which would not have been possible without the humble steam roller. This documentary pays tribute to the custodians who, with foresight and dedication, have preserved these historic engines, ensuring that the captivating sounds and nostalgic smells of a bygone era remain palpable for future generations. In doing so, steam roller owners have successfully prevented a wonderful part of Great Britain's industrial engineering heritage from vanishing.

Filmed at the annual Fairford Steam Rally and the Great Dorset Steam Fair, this Steam Rollers programme features a host of the finest steam rollers in preservation in the UK today.
