A WORKSPLATE “Constructed At Ashford Works SE & CR”. As carried by the SECR Class H 0-4-4T 550 that emerged from Works in November 1904. A robust and popular class of locomotives designed by Wainwright for branch line passenger work. 550 became SR A550, then 1550 (chalked on the back), then BR 31550. A longtime Stewarts Lane engine, it was withdrawn in February 1961 and cut up in Ashford Works. Oval cast brass, 11¼”x5¾”, just lightly face-polished and repainted.
