View westwards, across the Birmingham - Bristol main line just south of the A438 bridge. No. 1251 was one of the Johnson ex-Midland 1P 0-4-4Ts built 1875 and still in its original form, a Gloucester engine sub-shedded at Tewkesbury and pressed into shunting work between running up and down the Malvern and Evesham branches; it was withdrawn in 10/50.
