Would you happen to know what signage these brown examples would carry and where?

Just thought you guys might be interested in two early photographs that are currently due to be auctioned at Claydon Auctioneers (Lot 575) on the 6th November 2021. One photo appears to be of a Crewe 2-2-2, but the location of the station in the second early photo is a mystery as is the location of the Engine shed featured with the single loco. Two crew are discernable on the footplate. The Tender lining and point level might hold clues as to a date. The Cabside Engine number might be 1846? It's a shame that the buffer beam number has been is obscured. Any ideas?
