This is a collection of photographs, on the Geograph site, commemorating Harry Ferguson (1884/1960) LinkExternal link an engineer and inventor, who was born in Co Down, in a rural area between Hillsborough and Dromore.
It includes memorials, statues and plaques, tractors and shows some of the countryside around his birthplace.

First prepared: 11 May 2013.
Updated 15 October 2014: Other – Ferguson tractor NH9108 : Ferguson tractor at Whitewell Croft by Dave Fergusson (Scottish highlands).
