            An old photograph of Great Western Railway (GWR) steam locomotive No. 4998 'Eyton Hall' at Basingstoke Railway station.

The photo is stamped with the photographer name B. K. B. Green and annotated with the date 30/6/53.

No. 4998 was a C. Collett designed Hall/4900 class 4-6-0 engine, built in the Swindon Works, and new to GWR in Mar 1931. The locomotive was withdrawn from service in Oct 1963 then scrapped in May 1964 at Cohens (Morriston).
