Under cover Fowler

Light was fading when we visited APCM Shipton-on-Cherwell cement works, Oxfordshire in September 1981 and this picture turned out pretty dark but I’ve tried to rescue it.

John Fowler 0-4-0DM 4220037 came here from APCM Sewell Quarry near Dunstable, and at the time of our visit it was the spare loco to a Thomas Hill “Vanguard”.

When this facility closed, it moved to Rhoose cement works in South Wales to join another pair of Fowlers there, but has since been scrapped.
