Finds from the Cleveland Way path at Sutton Bank, North Yorkshire.

This picture was taken in the bay platform at Sutton Coldfield, it must have been just after arrival because the loco worked the train back tender first, the group at the tender are watching the fireman uncouple the loco. Although Peter did not leave any clue as to location one of the pictures on the excellent Six Bells Junction website shows us exactly where the train was.
Peter never printed this picture, although he liked people in his pictures I guess there were just too many. For us, 59 years on, the people and their style of dress are probably more interesting than the train.
