History
This ‘Terrier’ entered service with the LB&SCR as ‘A1’ No. 72 ‘Fenchurch’ in 1872, but was sold to Newhaven Harbour Company in June 1898 for shunting work as it was light enough to cross a swing bridge between its east and west quays. It retained its Stroudley livery and name until 1917, before receiving ‘Newhaven’ lettering on its tanks. Rebuilt with a larger boiler to ‘A1X’ specification in April 1913, it was acquired by the Southern Railway in 1926 and served through to BR days, when it became the oldest working locomotive on BR. Withdrawn in 1964, it was sold to the Bluebell Railway for preservation.
