Abstract
This article focuses on locomotives that once served the internal transport requirements of limestone quarries and kilns located at Betchworth, Surrey, England, particularly three steam locomotives constructed by the firm of Fletcher, Jennings & Company and a vertical-boiler locomotive. Included are the author’s reminiscences of his first visit to Betchworth in 1958, a description of the site, discussion of how an interest in small steam locomotives at that time provided an introduction to industrial archaeology, and details of early preservation.
