5049 1962 where Is it Gloucester?

5049 1962 where Is it Gloucester?

With a LMS 4F behind.

Peter kerslake says " This could possibly be at Gloucester , but if it is I cannot identify the exact location , unfortunately .
As a Cardiff Canton based engine 5049 " Earl of Plymouth " would have been worth capturing on film down in the far Westcountry in the early 'fifties but she ws fittingly transferred down to Plymouth's Laira Depot in 1957 from where she was later moved firstly up the line to Newton Abbot in mid 1958 thence to Bristol Bath Road in May of 1960 , and when that Depot closed to the nearby St . Philip's Marsh four months later in September of 1960 , being condemned from there in March of 1963.
The double chimney shown here had been fitted by Swindon n August of 1959 prior to her move to Bath Road and the mechanicl lubricator is just visible in the original position behind the outside steam pipe. "
