You take them for granted - until one day they're gone!
Those 3 pictures of Exchange Station a page back. In the one with the Class 08 shunter, is the building in the background the David Lewis Hospital?
I think that it is the David Lewis Hospital, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!
Down on the docks; a Mr. R. C. Riley, who normally photographed BR, strayed on 11 April 1959 and took these super pics!

Tony, your kind words are much appreciated. What started as a month long mission to share and thus preserve a few pics has turned into an nightly ritual! Yes, there are a lot more to come, but there may be gaps between postings as I don't always have time to scan and restore what are often badly damaged negs or prints. You would become a hermit if you lived with us, drooling over my archives!!!
