Newbiggin Colliery in 1916 with Yorkshire Engine Company [1022] locomotive

Newbiggin Colliery was opened in 1908 by Newbiggin Collieries Ltd, and closed in 1967.

Here we have a Yorkshire Engine Company [YEC] locomotive purchased new by the company in 1910. Bit of a rare beast in Northumberland.

 

The locomotives name 'KIT' can be made out faintly on the side of the saddle tank.
