Accrington Railways - Robert Kenyon

Based on the design of the Iron Duke class, these were the last locomotives built by Walkers of Bury. They were a mixed bag whose domes all occupied different positions, # 55 Rossendale had a dome on the firebox, whilst the others had them in various positions on the boiler. This gives rise to the theory that the boilers were all sourced from different suppliers. The ‘ Ulysses’ Class, built by Stothert & Slaughter, Bristol. No . Name. Type. Date new. Rebuilding date.
