The oldest photograph we've found so far showing our railway.
This early view shows Percy Main Workshops, with Blyth & Tyne number 6. An 0-6-0 long boiler locomotive, by Robert Stephenson & Co, works number 1271 of January 1860.
She cost the Blyth & Tyne £2175 when new.
After being overhauled in 1884 and 1895. She was withdrawn in December 1897.
