Trslides520 90682 Wakefield Kirkgate

No date or location (Wakefield Kirkgate thanks to Kenneth) came with this one of WD 90682 working a mixed freight service. The loco looks to be carrying 55E Normanton shed plate which would put us after February 1958. Should know the location but it is not coming to me at the moment and I will kick myself when someone tells me!

The loco was new from the Vulcan Foundry to the War Department in November 1944 as 79219 and was a 2-8-0. Withdrawl was in September 1967 and cutting up at Arnott Young in Parkgate in January 1968.
