A VICTORIAN fire engine that was used by the Blenheim Palace Fire Brigade has now been found.

After many years of operation, the engine was taken out of service and showcased at various Victorian steam shows around the country before settling at Shipston Fire Station.

It has now been located at Nuneaton Fire Station and it is hoped that it will return back to Blenheim Palace to be showcased once it has been cleaned and restored.

The horse-drawn engine used a steam boiler to create pressure to pump water and was built by Merryweather & Sons in 1890.
