Description

Identification note: John Fowler Steam Road Locomotive called "Lord Roberts" which was built in 1900 and delivered new to the brickworks (run originally by the Box Family & then the Holloways Bros. of West Lavington) in Market Lavington in Wiltshire. Its purpose was to deliver bricks /building materials etc. and to undertake general haulage duties. Around 1912 it appears the engine delivered all of the bricks used to build the then Central Flying School at Upavon.
