LOCAL CLOSURE.....
Chester Northgate [CLC] station entrance. The slide says 'closed' which it is but there are clearly 2 DMU's in the station, taken in May 1970
Northgate is said to have closed completely on 6-10-69. The transparency is Kodak and the date stamp confirms the 1970 date. So is it surprising to see units on this date?
I didn't take a photo here until 1971 [Kodak Brownie 127] when it was well and truly closed though the track still in place and even the loco shed still standing.
Part of the Tom Derrington Collection with photographer unknown.
