Lostock Hall Preston 1st August 1968

Lostock Hall engine shed near Preston three days before the end of British Railways steam in August 1968.

This is the view from Watkin Lane over the allotment fence. On the steam locomotive dump the engines on view are mainly Stanier Black 5s but the nearest is an Ivatt 4 2-6-0.

The coaling plant dominates the centre with the water tank to its right & the engine shed itself to the right of that.

HFF & have a great weekend.
