An INDUSTRIAL NAMEPLATE "HENRY" with its matching WORKSPLATE "Yorkshire Engine Co. Limited. No. 2801 Meadow-Hall Works Sheffield 1960". This fine pair was carried by a 275 H.P. 0-4-0 diesel electric that emerged from Works on 18th January 1961 going to Stewarts & Lloyds Ltd, Springvale Furnaces, Bilston. Stewarts & Lloyds became British Steel Corporation in July 1968 and "Henry" went to BSC's Aldwarke Works, Rotherham in September 1979 where it was denamed and numbered "11". It was out of use by late 1981. The nameplate is rectangular cast brass, 19 1/2"x5 1/2"; the worksplate oval cast brass 11"x6". Both are face-polished and repainted only.
