Derwent (locomotive)

Derwent is an 0-6-0 steam locomotive built in 1845 by William and Alfred Kitching for the Stockton and Darlington Railway (S&DR).

Derwent was designed by Timothy Hackworth and built by W. & A. Kitching in Darlington, England in 1845.

It is similar in design to two of their 1842 locomotives, Leader and Trader,[1] with outside cylinders fixed at the trailing end of the boiler and four-foot diameter, six-wheeled coupled wheels.

Withdrawn from service in 1869, it was sold to Pease & Partners for use on their colliery lines and spent some time at the construction of the Waskerley Reservoir in County Durham.

1 for many years on a plinth on one of the platforms at Darlington's main station, Bank Top.
