4403 1920s Penzance shed
GWR 44XX class 2-6-2T No 4403 at Penzance shed in the 1920s. It was allocated there for a year in 1925 and again for two years commencing November 1929, as it still has the 'porthole' windows I suspect this is the earlier date.
Peter Kerslake says 4403 is clearly fresh from a Works visit. The class was the mainstay of duties covered by Penzance engines on the St. Ives and Helston branches. Entering service in October 1905 4403 worked the Princetown line from Laira in October 1906 following a brief spell at St.Ives. Later service at St. Blazey, Newton Abbot, Tondu and Welliington preceded its withdrawal from Laira in March 1951.
