M&GN Ghost - BR Norwich City 1967 - a photo on Flickriver

M&GN Ghost - BR Norwich City 1967

            It's September 2021 and I'm stood in the car park of a large camping supplies retailer, getting funny looks off shoppers with inflatable beds and other camping sundries under their arms. It feels as if every time I lift my camera to take this shot somebody appears to interrupt the scene (and make me feel a little awkward). Next up, a baffled employee opens the door on the left for a fag break and I feel the urge to explain to him what it is I'm up to. He seemed to be quite impressed. "There used to be trains here? Cool... Oh yeah, I've seen your bomb ghosts". 

I respond: "That's not my work, that was a real photographer named Nick Stone" which is something I have to say quite a lot and for which I'm still quite flattered by.

Meanwhile, back in the August of 1967 a young David Pearson has been given a brake-van permit for a return trip on the 0800 (or thereabouts) Wensum Freight, headed up by Brush type 2, D5664. The station had been closed to passengers since 1959 but carried on with freight operations right up until 1969.

Thanks to David Pearson for allowing me to use his fantastic colour image of his interesting up and down the former M&GN metals out of Norwich City.

I think there are a few more of these fantastic images to come from David's trip so watch this space.
