Here's the one especially for Mick. Again from an exceptionally underexposed negative. I'm constantly amazed at the amount of information which can be extracted from negatives which would have been considered pretty well unprintable if using conventional photographic paper. Shame about the fogging in the top right hand corner too, although it doesn't detract significantly from the value of the image.
It's Britannia 70033, Charles Dickens, I believe probably at Doncaster Works, subject to confirmation.
Frankly it looks pretty derelict and I started by wondering if this was a scrapyard picture. However, the smokebox in front of the Britannia clearly still has the number and shedplate attached and I believe these would have been removed. The Britannia itself still has it's nameplate and that would most certainly not have been present. Therefore I am assuming that this is a works shot. Dating this shot would be a bit difficult, but there are some helpful clues. The smokebox door is plainly from a WD and the number is 906-2. The partially hidden number appears to be a 3 or 8. Fortuitously the shed plate remains on the door and it's 26B, Agecroft. For the sake of avoiding the possibility of misidentification I went through all the possible combinations of 906-2 at Agecroft Shed.
I established that 90632 was recorded at Agecroft on 14 June 1959 and 4 September 1960. It was not present on 12 January 1958 or previous to that date. There were no other WDs with a number 906-2. Regrettably I can find no information about allocations at Agecroft after 1960. Information about the WDs is notoriously sketchy, but further research confirms, from a single source, that 90632 went to Springs Branch 17 October 1964 and then to Aintree at the end of January 1965. Two sources confirm that it was withdrawn from there in May 1965 . The same two sources agree that it went to Cashmore's Great Bridge for scrapping which happened in August 1965.
I wonder whether your evidence, Mick, may suggest that 70033 was in Doncaster works at the putative time we have for 70002, above, as this would make sense if the photographer took more than the single photo we've looked at previously.
In a few days a better exposed shot of 73000 also, I believe in Doncaster Works, will follow. There's also another underexposed photo of 70053 with a 55A Leeds Holbeck shed plate but I'm of the belief that this is not at Doncaster, particularly as there have already been some shots around Leeds Holbeck which we've looked at previously.
Brian.
Edit - Looking through the cab of the Brit another cab can be seen behind it. It looks as though this could be a WD cab, so maybe 906-2?
