The historic Coffee-pot Locomotive, built at Head Wrightson & Co in 1870, was removed from the roundabout outside Halfords in the early hours of Sunday 12th August 2012 as part of St John’s Crossing development in Stockton-on-Tees. The last of the six photographs shows the locomotive in its present location at Preston Park.

I hope that it it better cared for than the clock donated by Alderman Samuel Jennings (Belfast) which was in the museum entrance, but out of order when last I saw it. That clock was donated by an ancestor of Stockton Borough Alderman Joan Wade nee Jennings to the people of Stockton.

I’m glad that this is being done. When I visited last year to see an industrial loco in the middle of a road traffic system just seemed odd. It’s good to see that it is being returned to Preston park.
