We believe that Albert Rose would probably have driven these locos at some time during his career at Coppice Colliery and Conduit Colliery.
Kitson No.2 (5358-1921) at Coppice Colliery (Fair Lady) Heath Hayes, after the name ‘Thomas’ was removed on Nationalisation in 1947.
The same Kitson loco with the name still in place.
