Hudswell Clarke 1884 was built in 1955 to a design used for the supply of locomotives to the Port of London Authority. It went to the National Coal Board and worked at Newmarket Colliery, Near Wakefield. Here it carried the number S102 and worked alongside S103 (Hudswell Clarke Work Number 1864) which was built to the same design.

It worked at the Colliery until 1969 and then following repairs at the central workshops (NCB Allerton Bywater). From there it moved to St Johns Colliery in Wakefield and worked there and at Park Hill Colliery in Wakefield. It was taken out of service in March 1977.

It is now based on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway where it is was restored to service in 2021. As of July 2023 the locomotive was at Peak Rail where it was photographed in the shed. It was due to stay at Peak Rail for two years.
