This rare and early nameplate was carried by a Class B 0-6-0ST with outside cylinders built by Fox Walker as Works No.266 about March 1875. It went new to the Cannock & Rugeley Colliery Co. Ltd at Cannock Wood Colliery Staffordshire, as their No.5. It became NCB property on 1st January 1947 at Rawnsley Shed. For a few months after September 1960 it went to the NCB's Lea Green Colliery, returning to Rawnsley by May 1962. It was finally withdrawn in 1963 and cut up by T. Hill of Chasetown in June 1964 from where the vendor's late father obtained the plate. Rectangular cast brass, 281/2"x7", slightly convex to fit the saddle-tank. Attractive, early serif lettering. Face-polished and repainted only. A special plate nearly 130 years old! Beaudesert Hall was the stately pile of the Earl of Anglesey who owned many of the collieries in the Cannock area.
