Looking forwards too getting back in the WKSP and one of the nurses said that her mother. Jessica Haines made locomotives and stationary engines in Surrey .?? so does anyone know anything about this lady and was she one of the Haines people  that were quite prolific engine builders ?????
Cheers and thanks
Willy.
