92091 at Speke Junction

'On Feb. 22nd 1968 Mike Walker and I completed a most successful day in Cheshire by visiting the MPD at Speke Junction. Mike uses his cine camera to record the spectacular departure of 9F no 92091 on a heavy mixed freight.'

 

An image from an album of prints by the Revd David Benson, a curate in Hull when he took most of his photographs. Nearly all from the late 1960s, he not only chased steam (plenty of such photographs from others), but didn't ignore the first generation diesels, of which there are some fantastic images. Also a good number of shots around Hull Docks. Loaded into the Flickr album 'A Curate's Collection' in reverse order, so when I've uploaded them all you can browse the album as it was compiled.
