Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 14 Dec 1980
Nunnery was originally a London & North Western Railway goods yard. After Victoria station closed in 1970 it became a reversing point for trains from Huddersfield to Sheffield, and carriage sidings. Here, loco no 45104 "The Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers" backs onto a rake of carriages, presumably to take them into Midland station.
