"The William Jennings Bryan House, also known as Fairview, is a historic house museum on Sumner Street in Lincoln, Nebraska, United States. Built in 1902–1903, it is noteworthy as the home of politician William Jennings Bryan (1860–1925), and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1963. It is located on the Bryan Health hospital campus, and houses museum displays related to Bryan on the ground floor and the William Jennings Bryan Institute on the upper floors.
The William Jennings Bryan House is located near the southeast corner of the Bryan Health campus, on the north side of Sumner Street opposite South 50th Street. The house is a brick building, 1+1⁄2 stories in height, with a combination of Classical Revival and Queen Anne Victorian styling. It has the varied rooflines typical of the latter style, including a two-story square turret at the right front corner, topped by a slightly bellcast pyramidal roof with flared edges. Window sizes and shapes are also varied, with a small Palladian window in one gable section, and a larger one on the second level of the tower."

She was built at Crewe in 1886 and scrapped in 1904.

Handsome engines but prone to slipping. You can't see it in the
picture but these were actually 2-2-2-0 not 2-4-0. The drivers were
uncoupled. If one pair of drivers slipped it lost that one's share of
adhesive weight and the other pair slipped almost immediately.

Thanks to the knowledgeable folk at alt.binaries.pictures.rail

I think this is dated 1926, and is probably taken during the General Strike. It looks like it says 5/4/26, which makes it the 4th May 1926, second day of the strike.

Coach behind engine has "Manchester" sign on it. so it's probably Euston station

Thanks all, for your research and comments. We will add the date and station information to the data and reload the description.
