Tommies in the landscape
A pair of Tommies stand at Wombwell Main exchange sidings waiting their turn to be banked up the Worsboro' Incline with a rake of coal-laden MGRs bound for Fidlers Ferry power station across the Pennines. The locos are 76031 (leading) and 76032, taken on a cloudy 23rd June 1977.
Using an old OS map I've done my best to place this and believe the row of houses in the background are on Pearson Crescent, Wombwell. Any better advice appreciated. Wherever they are, what price for a bedroom window in the 70s!
