Built in 1917 & 1918 respectively, by Avonside Engineering, these two small saddle tanks were owned by and worked for the Port of Bristol Authority. Alan Newman was a colleague and friend of my father and a well respected railway photographer. This little print was glued into Dad's engine spotting log for the mid to late 1950s. I hadn't seen it until today when I was looking to confirm the details of the neighbouring photo. in a later log. Portbury has been preserved and is, at the last mention I can find, at the Bristol Harbour Railway.
