I don’t know where the photograph was taken, but I think it was taken around the 1920s/30s. The gentleman stood on the engines footsteps is Fireman Fox, my Great granddad. I don’t know who the other two gentlemen are however I would assume the man on the footplate is the driver and the man in front of the loco is the shunter.

Any relation to Fanny Fox of Stockton?
