An Industrial Nameplate “CROOKES” together with its matching...
An Industrial Nameplate “CROOKES” together with its matching Worksplate “Kerr Stuart & Co. Ltd No. 4199. 1920 London & Stoke.” This fine pair was carried by the Priestley Type 0-4-0WT with outside cylinders that emerged from Kerr Stuart on 14th July 1920. It went new to Brunner Mond & Co Ltd, Winnington Works, Northwich, Cheshire (from December 1931 it became part of ICI Mond Division). About September 1957 the locomotive was transferred to ICI’s Silvertown Works, Essex and it was finally scrapped by T.W. Ward Ltd in June 1961. Both plates are in ex-loco chromed brass condition; the nameplate rectangular with scalloped corners 19¼”x5¾”; the worksplate oval 12¾”x7½”.
