Comparing this photo to the photo on page 230 of EM Johnson's Scenes from the Past 29 part two (Foxline, ISBN 1 870119 52 5) leads me to say it is definitely Neepsend Shed.

The loco looks like a Robinson 8K class 2-8-0 (later LNER O4 class), first introduced in 1911. What is puzzling me slightly is the flat topped bar between the chimney and the dome, something which I haven't seen in any other pictures of these locos, except on the first picture on this fine history of the class:
