DescriptionLNW Webb tender No.19 still in use at the top of Hopton Incline two months before closure of the line. Note the hollow central section designed for coal storage. As with No.18 (17/2/41), the central axle is removed. The tank is on the stub of the former Hopton Incline uphill line, which was removed sometime after the abandonment of the engine in 1877, but before the gradient was eased in 1903.
