Looking forward to an 'ex-works' (and not leaning!) "Horden" - later this year.

Does anyone know Horden’s Number?
Horden's AB works no. is 1015. It carried the running number 1 at Shotton Colliery in the 1950s. It's name was Horden when built in 1904. It may have carried both identifiers at times, but sometimes carried neither name nor number.
