Great Northern Large Atlantic 2850 awaiting scrapping

            Great Northern Railway Ivatt C1 class large atlantic number 2850 at Doncaster on 21st September 1947. It is awaiting scrapping having been withdrawn from Doncaster shed during the previous month, August 1947. Originally numbered 1420 by the Great Northern Railway, it became number 4420 at the grouping in 1923 and the LNER renumbered it again to 2850 under their 1946 renumbering scheme. In fact it can only have run a few miles as 2850 as it was already stored out of use at Doncaster on 4th April 1947 (Railway Observer May 1947).

One of a series of around 200 photographs and postcards in my collection mostly acquired during the 1960's, this one has a date and location on the reverse but no indication as to the original photographer.
