Bath Green Park Bottom Shed

The S&D shed in spring 1963 with 53806, 73054, 53810, 3849 and a Class 4 4-6-0 (75071?)

 

I took this photo with my third roll film for the Brownie Cresta Camera I had been given for Christmas 1962. I was 13, the two lads in view were older, 4th and 5th formers at school.

The Western 2-8-0 was a visitor, but I don't know what it had been working

73054 would be working the 4/20 Bournemouth and 75071 the 4/37 all stations to Templecombe

The overhead gantry had been out of use for some years and was removed completely shortly after

One of the S&D 2-8-0s would have been used on the 6/27 Avonmouth freight
