I have few details. Here on a trade plate at the factory I guess. Just pre WW2?

I lived in Henley in the early 1970s. Fortunately we had moved on by then from this one man fire brigade...

Petros - is it possible this is the same engine as 42015 but signwritten different left to right side for publicity photos?
Just a guess...

Ed: ah maybe. That might explain why there is no trace on the Horwich post war fleetlist. Might never have been a Horwich appliance!

The building in the background of both photos is the same one too...

Henley on Thames acquired this appliance in December 1938, a separate appliance from the Horwich one.

Well done Mr Murray for putting the record straight.
