Description:Locomotive 'E.R. Calthrop' on the Leek and Manifold Light Railway. The line, which opened in 1904, was an 8 mile line built to 2'6" gauge under the design of Everard Calthrop. It closed in 1934, and the track was lifted in 1937.
‘E.R. Calthrop’ was one of two locomotives built for the line. They were outside-cylindered 2-6-4Ts, built by Kitson & Co. of Leeds in 1904. The other locomotive was named ‘J.B. Earle’ after the railway’s engineer. Both were scrapped shortly after the line closed.
