Hi Neil, thanks for sharing these very interesting photo's. It's good to see some of the 'behind the scene's' locations in this day and age. Have you any idea on how old this place would be? Cheers for now, Errol

The old photos are quite wonderful. It was hard enough to get a decent photo in shed conditions. These look as if they were done with a plate camera so it must have been doubly difficult

Mike Bentley has some photos for you but has mislaid your address. Please phone him - 01298 25151. Some comments on your photos: 02a Some mistakes here. The 4-4-0 is a Precursor. Experiments were 4-6-0s - see 04a. The 0-8-0on left is not an LNWR G1 or G2 or anything, A chap called Ted Talbot wrote a book about LNWR 0-8-0s. Believe me! It is an L&Y engine - see 8-wheel tender. 05a looks like a parcels train or similar. First vehicle is a horse box. 05b is heading west.

Unusual chimney on the Patriot, very reminiscent of a Prussian P8
