The nameplate of the Evesham Vale Light Railway's Ruston & Hornsby 4wDH 452280 Cromwell, pictured on 2 October 2016. Whilst it is quite clear that the BR 7MT 4-6-2 70013 Oliver Cromwell is named after England's only republican Commonwealth leader (1599-1658), this nameplate could equally well refer to Thomas Cromwell (1485-1540), King Henry VIII's political 'fixer'! |
