1965/08/02, 4. Having made the trip up from the dock bottom to the higher level, Seaham Harbour No. 18 joins other engines at the shed. The engine was built by Lewin of Poole in 1863 as a 0-4-0WT for the Londonderry Railway, later being rebuilt as a 0-4-0ST OC. Due to its diminutive size (illustrated by the relative size of the fireman) it was able to work under the staithes at the lower level of the harbour. Monday 2nd August 1965.
