76056 1960s Where on SR?

76056 1960s Where on SR?

Came as unidentified but almost certainly 76056 as it was the only Loco' number ending in '6' coupled to a high sided BR1B tender for use on the Southern Region and allocated to 71B.

I cannot identify the location but the train is 1N83. These head codes were introduced in I believe 1961 which helps with the date. This is the Bournemouth W - York/Newcastle which changed engines at that time at Oxford. The engine was reallocated to Bournemouth in December 1959. I suspect that this is 1961 or 1962. This train remained steam hauled between Bournemouth (extended to/from Poole when Bournemouth W closed) and Oxford and latterly Banbury until the GC line closed week ending 5/9/66, the last train running on 3/9/66
