The Stourbridge Lion - See also: Stourbridge Locomotives tourMuch has been written about this locomotive, largely because of its claim to fame - that it was the first steam locomotive to run on a commercial line in the United States. Built by Foster, Rastrick & Co. in 1829, the Stourbridge Lion's historic first run took place on August 8th of that year. It is now on view at the B&O Railroad Museum, Baltimore MD, on loan from The Smithsoniam Institute, Washington DC. |

The Old Foundry is now fully operational as the Lion Medical Centre! After years of campaigning it's fantastic to see the foundry fully rebuilt as a state of the art medical centre - The Lion Health Centre. It's my belief that we risked losing the building forever if it had taken another 12 months, local people have reported seeing acts of vandalism on a regular basis and fortunately the roof beams are made from cast iron rather than the more common, flammable wood.
