Framed !

Framed by the unloading dock, early Ruston & Hornsby 20DL class loco 235654 of 1946 is seen at Greenwoods Tileries of Barton Haven, Humberside in the early 1980s.

Greenwoods was one of several tileries and brickworks on the south bank of the Humber, taking clay from the shore and drying it to form bricks and tiles. They bought this loco from its original owner the Elsham Lime Co. near Brigg.

After withdrawal from service it was sold and restored for use at the Abbey Light Railway in Leeds, when this closed in 2013 it was moved to the private Richmond Light Railway in Kent.
