7010 1961c Wednesbury
A really fine portrait of 7010 , " Avondale Castle " with a Wolverhampton line working passing a familiar landmark here at Wednesbury , and I wonder just what used to be on the massive and deserted looking area in the background which appears in a number of images from this particular lineside vantage point .
Allocated to Old Oak Common at the time of this view this engine was moved to Reading in early 1964 from where it was condemned after just one month there in February of that same year.
