Clara Vale Colliery

I don't have a lot of information on this HL/RSH(??) built industrial tank engine. Numbered 14, it was photographed at Clara Vale colliery in the Tyne Valley.

 

Clara Vale colliery opened in 1893 and closed on the 05th Feb 1966. My grandfather who took this photo worked there for a number of years.

 

Any information on the locomotive and it's history would be much appreciated.
