A nice collection of pictures, Laurie. But allow me to make a few corrections. The first picture is of 32678 (formerly "Knowle") probably in July/August 1963, before the tramway over the swing bridge closed (on 10 August). Knowle is preserved at the Kent and East Sussex Railway. The 3rd and 4th pictures are of 32660 (formerly "Martello"). Also an LBSC Terrier, built at Brighton in October 1875, and now preserved at the Bressingham Steam Museum. (The LSWR B4 class are rather different and smaller locos, with only 4 wheels. Although the class was frequently used at Southampton docks, I do not believe one ever visited Newhaven). One ("Normandy") is preserved at the Bluebell along with Terriers "Stepney" and our own "Fenchurch". Good to see Dick Riley's picture of Fenchurch with Harry Avis again. My father, Bob Cobden, replaced Harry as shunter on the tramway when Harry retired. Regards Alan Cobden

Hi, nice to see these photos.  By the way, Martello (32662) is another Terrier, not a LSWR B4
