A location from which many ex BR shunters were exported abroad in the 1970's. By this date the site was operated by Queenborough Rolling Mill Co. Ltd having previously been known as Shipbreaking Queenborough Ltd. 03 027 was one of its long term resident shunters and is seen here running through the sidings at Queenborough Wharf, Rushenden Point. 03 027 was withdrawn by BR on 30/01/76 from Colchester Depot and was sold to P. Wood of Queenborough on 16/07/76 where it was put to use working the branch from the scrapyard to the steel mill. It remained here until being sold privately to a Mr P Helme who moved the loco to the SYRPS at Meadowhall in February 1991. After several more moves it is now to be found at Rowsley shed, Peak Rail, Derbyshire.
