This locomotive was built in 1893 by Hudswell Clarke for Edmund Nuttall to work at Salford at the Ship Canal Dock. As a locomotive designed to work for a contractor it was designed to weigh only 15½ tons. The small size of such locomotives was determined by the need for easy haulage by road, on a low loader towed by a steam traction engine. As most of these locomotives were narrow gauge Lord Mayor is somewhat unusual in being standard gauge. Here is a color photo 402 Lord Mayor at Haworth on the KWVR – October 1985
