82001 1963 Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury shed looking NW. Beyond the coal ramp is St Alkmund's Church spire and St Julian's Church tower behind post. 86C Hereford shedplate & OHL flashes dates it between September 1962 & May 1963. 86C allocated September 1962 - May 1963 Accurately dating the image is confused by the fact that 82001 was in Crewe Works for Heavy General between 3/6/63 & 19/7/63. As the loco appears to be in ex-works condition, it must be after that date, although the loco had been officially transferred to Exmouth Junction in May 1963. Previous works visit was in 1960 when allocated to 6A Chester Midland.
