Murdoch flyer

Members of the Murdoch Flyer Project have launched a full size, live steam, working replica of William Murdoch's 1784 steam carriage. This exciting project has brought to life Britain's first power-driven vehicle that would have pre-dated Trevithick's famous locomotive by almost 20 years.
