BR971 - butressed end

BR971 - butressed end
Apologies for the camera shake / lack of sharp focus.
The bolsters on this end are somewhat larger pieces of timber, with substantial buttresses at the bottom. Left hand grab rail is damaged / partially missing, assumed to be angled, as the other grab rails are straight. Evidence of fire damage, especially to the upper areas. The headstock is badly split and was pulled inwards by the strength of the drawbar spring when parts of the wooden "fans" were consumed or broke away after the fire.
