Great pic My brother Arthur was a fire man at one time.

Has the loco been scrapped? I wouldn't mind purchasing the name-plate!

Johnny. The only item I can find relating to old colliery locomotives is this. Relates to Astley Green Colliery Museum. 1. Apart from the steam winding engine and headgear the museum houses many exhibits, not least of which is the collection of 28 colliery locomotives, the largest collection of its type in the United Kingdom. Has anyone visited it?

Where is the picture taken? Standish?
