This is a lovely image of the now preserved B12/3 No 8572 resident on the nearby North Norfolk Railway. It is on the turntable at Cromer GE Station (renamed Cromer High after Nationalisation in 1948). Cromer High was situated somewhat inconveniently about a mile from the town and was closed by BR as an economy measure on 20th September 1954. All services were diverted to the more convenient ex M&GN station Cromer Beach although the journey for trains from London and Norwich was some 3 miles longer.
