Ex-E&WJR 0-6-0ST No 1 built by Manning Wardle is seen at
Stratford upon Avon near the SMJ General Manager's house. Built in 1866 it was
used by Crampton & Sons to help build the East & West Junction
Railway's line to Broom. In 1871 No 1 was hired by the East & West Junction
Railway and passed into the ownership of the SMJ in 1908. The locomotive was
sold on to the Shropshire & Montgomeryshire Light Railway in 1911 where it
was renumbered as No 4 and given the name 'Morous'. Retaining this identity,
the locomotive was sold in 1924 to the West Sussex Light Railway where it
remained until it was withdrawn to be scrapped in 1936.
