Photo uploaded on behalf of Mr. Neil Cain.Believed to be taken at Bickershaw Colliery. Can anyone confirm location and engine type...(Andrew Barclay tank?)

If you look at the wagon in the background the lettering ends in EY. That was a Winstanley Colliery wagon. It is a Barclay engine,but a different type to the one at Bick Coll.
If you leave your E Mail or pm me I've got more info.

Worsley Mesnes colliery also had an Andrew Barclay loco.Unfortunately both theirs and the Winstanley loco were both named and there seems to be an absence of nameplate in this photo.
