The album photo of Daphne at Tytherington was taken around 1900 - 1910. My guess is nearer to 1901 - based on the facts of the individuals in the photo. Looking closely at the photo I do wonder if it has just been delivered - at front of engine looks like a wooden block.

The people in the photo are: L-R Albert Kingscott, Charlie Livall (yank), George Livall (bum), on the train leaning out Thomas Davis - my great grandfather, child Albert Davis - looks like a girl to me

status: stored unservicable. Unfortunately Daphne requires a massive amount of work and is at the bottom of the long restoration queue.
