| Here is the single picture I took on Saturday 9 June plus a brief selection of the pictures I took on Sunday 10 and Tuesday 12 June 2007. These special trains were hired by the Bowring Park Centenary committee which organised (1) a special Saturday run from Liverpool to Hebden Bridge, (2) a series of 3 Sunday shuttle trips between Lime Street and Earlestown and (3) a single out & back trip between Liverpool and Earlestown for the organising committee and guests.
Earlestown station is situated right in the town centre of Newton-le-Willows and is just a few minutes walk from my house. Engine No 45407 is a welcome visitor to the area, as it was on a regular basis from the late 1930s to the late 1960s, when all BR main line steam was finally withdrawn. I am a few years older than this engine and remember it well in everyday main line service from my own schooldays until well into my middle 30s. I hope you enjoy viewing this album which can also be viewed as a slide show. To do this, open the first picture by clicking upon it, scroll down to the bottom of the viewing page and click again on 'Slideshow'. This should start up, displaying each picture on screen for 10 to 15 seconds. Eddie Bellass, Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside. 11 June 2007 |
