In 1847 the London & Brighton Railway ordered a new locomotive from the E. B. Wilson Railway Foundry at Leeds. David Joy was given the task of designing what became known as the Jenny Lind. The Jenny Lind differed from contemporary locomotives in having inside bearings for the driving wheels, and outside framing and bearings for the leading and trailing wheels. The Jenny Lind was an immediate success and the Wilson Railway Foundry was soon producing one of these locomotives per week for railway companies all over Britain.
