Good evening, everyone.  Firstly, thank you, Mick, for more excellent and informative postings, especially the photo’ of the track being lifted and the level crossing removed at Hornsea Town, plus that photo’ of 45528, at Little Weighton, in early 1959, which is a remarkable sight.

45528 is an unusual engine for Little Weighton pick up, an early 1959 view.

According to the BR DATABASE, 528 was  CREWE NORTH ENGINE at this time.  A very rare bird indeed for the pick up goods.

It may be my imagination, but this looks very much like a Black 5, rather than a Patriot (45528) to me??

Would agree that its.a Black 5.

 

Patriot 45528 had smoke deflectors and a double chimney.

Further to Little Weighton picture. I have blown up the original grainy scan, not 100% clear but most likely 45328. Whatever, still an unusual engine for Little Weighton. Thanks, Mick.

Good evening, everyone. This evening I have a photo’ by Woolwinder on Flickr, of 37161, at Nafferton, on the 25th August, 1979. It’s an up service of Mk1 stock, on the 14.02 Scarborough to Hull service.

My Great Great Grandfather George Oxendale was the signalman/porter for Nafferton station in the late Victorian period.  According to a newspaper article from 1879 that i unearthed at the Hull city archive; He witnessed a man step onto the crossing here from his signal box just as a Hull bound express went through and was killed instantly.   My GGGrandfather would also lose his life whilst on duty at this very location one dark January evening in 1886.  He was found dead with his neck broken lying in the coal cells on the other side of this very wall pictured.  It was conjecture that whilst extinguishing the lamps in the semaphore signal gantry out of view to the left before going off duty, he slipped and fell to his death.  Very dangerous place the permanent way.

Manning Wardle? Possibly 1829 of 1872?

 

Edit: 1829/1872 is quoted in a list I found of contractor's locos, but seems out of place in the MW list i.e. the number is too large for the build date of 1872.
