Allocated from new in March of 1953 to Norwich , thereafter to Stratford and then back again to Norwich in January of 1959 " Clive of India " was one of the three " Britannias " despatched from Norwich to Immingham in December of 1960 when Diesel power displaced them from the former Great Eastern main line between Liverpool Street and Norwich , being joined later in 1961 at Immingham by four others rescued from the many lying idle at that time at March depot in Cambridgeshire .
Transferred to Carlisle Upperby in December of 1963 " Clive of India " was finally withdrawn from Carlisle Kingmoor in April of 1967 so this view has her with just a month left in service . "
