View of the Daimler Motor Company's 0-4-0ST 'Daimler' at the
head of a train of specially built wagons exiting the factory's sidings. The
train has been posed on one of the three munition sidings which were adjacent
to the refuge loop lines seen in front of the train. The locomotive was built
in 1916 by Leslie Hawthorn & Company as part of the expansion of the works
designed to build aeroplanes during the First World War. The open area behind
the locomotive was used as an airfield during this period. The locomotive was
subsequently sold on to Thomas Walmesley & Sons Ltd of Bolton in April
1948.
