62661 Trafford Park 20-4-58
From the collection of my late friend Dave Fenton. As this is 1958, it must have been taken by his Dad, but we know the location is Trafford Park.
The loco is one of Robinson's wonderful improved "Directors" or D11's, that eked out their last days out usefully on the old Cheshire Lines.
62661 was built in 1920 as Great Central no.507, "Gerard Powys Dewhurst." Her LNER no. was 5507 and she was scrapped in November 1960.
Note the ex-GCR "pom-pom" 0-6-0 behind her.
