BR Riddles 'Standard Britannia' 4-6-2 No. 70011 'Hotspur'. Built at Crewe in May 1951 and withdrawn in December 1967.

For the many of you familiar with the exceptional railway photography of the late Jim Carter, this 1967 view bears all his hallmarks. A privileged 'railwayman's' viewpoint, a clean Pacific and Jim's home shed and workplace, Patricroft in Manchester.
