On an unusually fine January day I was fortunate to be able to photograph Maunsell class V 'Schools' 4-4-0 No. 30925 in apparently fresh ex-Works condition near North Kent West Junction, running light off Bricklayers Arms Depot up to Charing Cross or Cannon Street to work a down express, probably to Hastings. Built in 4/34 it was withdrawn 12/62, to be preserved in the National Collection at York, later restored for main line work on the heritage Mid-Hants (Watercress) Line.
