Mystery Photographs - Selection 3 Refreshed June 2021

 

Picture 3-1  Jim Scott suggests South Ruislip but is puzzled by the lack of any buildings or canopy on what would be the underground side of the fence.

Picture 3-2  A “Dub-Dee” on iron ore hoppers – enough here to identify the location?

Picture 3-3  A North Eastern Railway coaling stage – does anyone know it?

 

  Picture 3-3

 

Picture 3-4  A distinctive piece of architecture perhaps?

Picture 3-5  We suspect this might be in the Lichfield area.

Picture 3-6  It’s ex-GWR and it’s on a canal.  That must narrow it down a bit!

Picture 3-7  This might be Fleetwood shed, but confirmation would be nice:

Picture 3-8  Niall Fergusson (HMRS Caledonian Railway Steward) confirms Bevan Price’s thought that this is a Caledonian 782 class 0-6-0T fitted with a stovepipe chimney.  Mike Morant suggests Kingmoor, Carlisle, as several were located there, and Niall mentions that some 439 class 0-4-4Ts went to the Chesterfield area in the 1950s, and this could be true of the 782 class locos.  (It looks like a Markham Colliery PO wagon in the background.)

Picture 3-12  Thanks to George Cash who thinks this is probably Sheffield car 504, quite likely taken on the last day of services on 8th October 1960.  George adds: “The Charles Roberts cars were built in 1950-2 and numbered 502-536.  The style of numbering with a distinctly round 0 was also used on exteriors.  Car 510 is at Crich and 513 is at Beamish.  The photographer’s reflection can be seen in the window below the number – maybe someone at Crich can identify him…”
