19820506.LangleyMill.20092+20034.35mm.LR_filtered
The 6th of May 1982 was not the best day for taking pictures, and this Agfachrome 35mm slide has developed a very bad purple colour cast, so I nearly didn't bother processing it. Glad I did though.
20090 + 20034 go against the normal flow of coal heading a set of loaded 21 tonners northbound through Langley Mill.
Langley Mill sidings on the left, and the lady in tights on the advertising board indicates the presence of Aristoc's factory, most of which is out of shot to the right.
The sidings developed into the usual Birch tree forest, but I understand houses are to be built on some of the land, while the Aristoc factory is now .... you've probably guessed ... more housing!
There is no shot at all here now for northbound trains due to vegetation.
