Castle on Bristol Barrow Road - a photo on Flickriver

Castle on Bristol Barrow Road

            On Saturday 4 July 1964, 5000 Launceston Castle had worked into Bristol with 1V52 6.55 Wolverhampton to Penzance.  The loco was serviced at Bristol Barrow Road (82E) and is seen here in the company of a Stanier Black Five on the short stabling road at the front of the shed.  5000 would depart later that day on 3M00 23.25 Temple Meads to Crewe parcels.  Allocated to Oxley (2B) at the time, the loco was withdrawn at the end of October 1964.  In the background of the photo can be seen the tall terraced houses on Digby Street, some already empty, and the tall chimney for the sand dryer.
