The north end of Preston Station in the early 1970's. I have another negative of Class 50 D406 attached to the train, but don't know which order they were taken in so maybe it is backing onto the coaches to work the 1P33 or maybe it is coming off as in the other photo there is another Class 50 in the other platform! I don't think the Driver is in the front so maybe it is backing on.

On a hot summer's day, an unidentified Caprotti Standard Class 5 leaves Preston with a passenger train and heads northwards. It has already passed Preston's No. 5 signalbox, and will soon pass the MPD yard which is behind the photographer. The points appear to be set for a crossing onto the Blackpool line, but as it bears train code 1T22 it is unlikely to be an excursion train for the seaside town.
Thirty Caprotti Standard Class 5s were built and some of them survived until the end of steam, concentrated at Patricroft MPD where I found the survivors on 7th July 1968. Sadly, none were to steam again. The Norman Hirst Collection re-imaged. Copyright ©2022 by Keith Lewcock. Not to be used or reproduced without my prior permission.

John Preston was an attorney living and working in Stokesley in the late 18th century. He died in 1814 and left a sum of £2,000 for a “school to provide free education for twelve or more poor children of the township of Stokesley…whose parents may be thought so poor as not to be well able to pay for their learning”. The will was contested, however, and the school did not open until 1832.
A house on Levenside was bought for £500 in 1847 for the school’s headmaster to live in and also put up boarders there. The school finally closed in 1918 and the building is now a pizzeria and takeaway. The house was then rented out and the income used to support children going to school in Yarm. It is now a private residence.
