    History

    John Aspinall designed the Class 21 for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR). Their purpose was to carry out shunting duties in industrial areas. During their construction period between 1886 and 1910, these engines totalled 60 built.

    It was a 0-4-0 tank. These types of engines also go by the Scottish nickname of ‘Pugs’. Either referring to their resemblance to pug dogs, with their flat nose, or to the Scottish dialect term for ‘monkey’.

    Horwich Works, located in Greater Manchester, built 11244 in May 1910. It started life as L&YR Number 28. It seemingly spent most of its life in and around the dock railway system at Goole in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Having spent nearly fifty-two years in traffic, 11244 was withdrawn on 6 March 1962 and scrapped very shortly after.
