47285

47285 propels 6M73 Severn Tunnel Junction - Aintree Metal Box into the factory at Aintree sometime in 1988.

 

The dirt track in front of the locomotive was a cinder path which led from Parkfield Avenue along the side of the factory to Heysham Road, and behind the camera the locally referred to 'Metal Box Hills', the scene of much young tomfoolery.

 

The other local landmark in the picture is the 'Movie' chimney, belonging to the Peerless factory on Dunnings Bridge Road, and was an advert for its all purpose cleaning product.
