Northumbrian was an early steam locomotive built by Robert Stephenson in 1830 and used at the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. It was the last of Stephenson’s 0-2-2 locomotives in the style of Rocket but it introduced several innovations. It was the first locomotive to have the Stephenson type firebox incorporated in the boiler and having a smokebox the full diameter of the boiler it therefore had the first true ‘locomotive’ boiler.
