LMS Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Kenilworth Station: lnwrk150

An unidentified LNWR 2-4-0 Newton class locomotive is seen entering Kenilworth station at the head of an up mixed stock service. There has been some debate about the date of this photograph with dates ranging from 1884-5 to 1914. The 1884-5 date is arrived at because the station was built in 1884 and the practice of combining goods and passenger rolling stock in the configuration seen above, namely the goods wagons behind the tender, apparently stopped in 1885. Its not known why the date of 1914 was thought appropriate.
