TONIGHT'S ENTERTAINMENT - a photo on Flickriver

            [This is a negative which purports to be 40048 passing the Shrewsbury Golf Course bridge near Kemps Eye on 10-8-80]

Please see comments from Andy B  and Rail Rover. The loco is 40057 and the date 30-5-84.

I have a number of negatives in my possession from an unknown local photographer, in general they are of fine quality and worthy to be made available. The seller however would appear not to be accurate with the details so if anyone would like to offer an alternative number or date gratefully received.
Otherwise please enjoy another shot from a long gone era.
I remember standing on this bridge back in 1974 to see Sir Nigel Gresley though I don't think that it had the level of parapet that is shown in the picture here. I suspect 1974 was the year it was built.
Part of the Tom Derrington Collection.
