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.

The silver replica shows how the original would have looked. The original helmet is extremely rare, only one of four known complete helmets from Anglo-Saxon England.
Autumn.I love this park, it makes me feel whole again. It was once the hunting ground of Henry VIII, King of England. No blood sport hunting now.
The Sutton Hoo helmet is a decorated and ornate Anglo-Saxon helmet found during a 1939 excavation of the Sutton Hoo ship-burial. It was buried around 625 and is widely believed to have belonged to King Rædwald of East Anglia; its elaborate decoration may have given it a secondary function akin to a crown. The helmet is possibly the most important known Anglo-Saxon artefact. It is displayed in the British Museum in London.

Not a single person around. Normally the curry house on the left would be busy with diners and there would be a few people heading between the pubs and take aways.
