Harbury Cement Works: misc_hcw169
Rebuilt by Hudswell Clarke & Co. Ltd in 1928, 0-4-0ST
No8 is seen here at Harbury Cement Works in circa 1947. This locomotive was
originally built by Baguley Cars Ltd in 1919 (Works No621), but was rebuilt
prior to coming to Harbury Cement Works in 1928. The locomotive had been owned
by the brewing company Thomas Salt & Co. of Burton-on-Trent, which after
succumbing to financial difficulties was taken over by Bass in 1927.
Mr EE Baguley was a locomotive engineer, who with the
backing of A Clay of Bass Brewery started the Ryknield vehicle firm before
moving to the BSA in Small Heath, where he designed their first cars. In 1911,
he returned to Burton on Trent and set up Baguley Cars Ltd producing a total of
88 cars before switching to railway locomotive construction. His company which
was based in Shobnall Road, Burton predominately produced petrol fuelled
locomotives and during the 1920s was known as Baguley (Engineers) Ltd. In
the 1930s the company was building diesel locomotives under the name EE
Baguley Ltd and had moved premise to Uxbridge Street in Burton.
