- peteri 8y agoI'm always amazed that the Ffestiniog engines were built just around the corner from where I live at the Hatcham Iron Works on Pomeroy street in New Cross, London. It seems unbelievable that you would setup a locomotive works so near to central London. https://www.festipedia.org.uk/wiki/England_Engines https://www.festipedia.org.uk/wiki/England_Engines
