Burnley Rose Grove Lancashire 1st August 1968

Burnley Rose Grove Lancashire 1st August 1968
Burnley Rose Grove, Lancashire outside the steam shed. Stanier 8F 2-8-0 48348 is on a coal train heading west, 1st August 1968.

Note the gaggle of enthusiasts on the cutting side in the background enjoying the view before the final end of steam on BR 3 days later when Rose Grove shed (one of the last 3 steam depots - out of sight to the right) closed.

Rosebay willowherb is forever associated with August 1968 in my mind and its alternative name of fireweed is very appropriate.
