The S&DR George England 2-4-0 were steam locomotives of 2-4-0 wheel arrangement built by George England for the Somerset and Dorset Railway (S&DR) and its predecessor, the Somerset Central Railway (SCR). There were frequent re-numberings, which explains the presence of two number 11s.
Two of the engines sent to Fox, Walker were re-sold to the Bishops Castle Railway.
These were double-framed engines built to the design of James Cudworth for the South Eastern Railway (SER). By the time they arrived, the SER no longer required them, so they were sold to the S&DR instead.
