Agecroft No 3 saddle tank locomotive standing on the sidings at the former Agecroft Power Station. This was taken on the last day of operation for the three steam locomotives at Agecroft. Agecroft No 3 is currently (March 2017) undergoing full restoration at the Whitwell & Reepham railway station in Norfolk http://web.archive.org/web/20170301105058/http://whitwellstation.com/agecroft-3-restoration-progress-update/ . The cooling towers which can be seen in the background were demolished in 1994 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/ianfitter/sets/72157623104950245/ flickr). The site now has a mixed development of housing, parklands and a prison, HMP Forest Bank which was opened in January 2000.
