Built by John Warner & Son of Hanley c1890 and installed here 2nd hand in 1915. Stopped 1978/9 and finally scrapped 1991. On an earlier visit they put steam on and limped it round for us. I have a horrible feeling that on this occasion we "bunked it" without permission - with a live colliery around it.
