'Henry' at Courtaulds works, Coventry ? 1978

The locomotive was built in 1901 by Hawthorn Leslie (Works No 2491) for the Foleshill Light Railway which was linked with Webster's Brick Works a short way to the east of Courtaulds works, which the line also served. The line effectively passed into Courtaulds (then still British Celanese) management around the 1920s, and 'Henry' was moved to their site at Spondon, Derby. It moved back to Coventry in the early 1970s for display, as seen here, and has remained in preservation, currently (2021) at Barrow Hill.
