Wakefield Westgate in 1967 - a photo on Flickriver

Wakefield Westgate in 1967

            'Fairburn' 2-6-4 Tank (minus front numberplate) prepares to leave Wakefield Westgate with the Bradford portion of the 9.03 from Kings Cross. The shed plate (56F for Low Moor) is broken, so perhaps not worth removing with the numberplate.

An image from an album of prints by the Revd David Benson, a curate in Hull when he took most of his photographs. Nearly all from the late 1960s, he not only chased steam (plenty of such photographs from others), but didn't ignore the first generation diesels, of which there are some fantastic images. Also a good number of shots around Hull Docks. Loaded into the Flickr album 'A Curate's Collection' in reverse order, so when I've uploaded them all you can browse the album as it was compiled.
