    Fantastic story about "Newstead" - an old steam engine from Woolley Colliery - having been thought scrapped but found restored by an owner over 30 years in East Anglia.

    I may well have seen this running between North Gawber and Woolley behind my parents' house in Pye Avenue, Mapplewell in the late 1960's and early 1970's. And my dad may well have seen it when he worked at Woolley as a shot firer.

    Anybody on here remember it?
