HWH - Cawfields Quarry loco "The Varney"
Cawfields Quarry loco at Town Foot, about where Potts Plant Hire is now [date of image - not known] The CQR was laid in 1905, and had several steam and IC locomotives.
.
The loco was built in 1902 by Kerr Stuart for work on the construction of the dam at Lake Vyrnwy in Wales, and is named after the reservoir. ["Sidar" class, 0-4-0 T, works no 748 of 1902] {only problem with that date is Lake Vyrnwy was built in the 1880s} Apparently the local name for her was "The Varney" ... suspected scrapped in the 1930s after developing problems with her firebox.
There is a very similar loco "Diana" at Threkeld Mining Museum in the Lake District.
