Stanier 8F at Blackwell

A work stained Stanier 8F has had the brakes pinned down on it's train at Blackwell at the top of the Lickey Incline and is now about to descend the 2 miles at a 1 in 37 gradient. Dirt on the loco makes identification impossible however 4870* is visible. The photo was taken late winter's afternoon in the early 1960's
