View From Horwich Works
Looking across the works sidings towards Chorley New Road and, beyond, Holy Trinity Church on Church Street. The wagons on the left are standing on what was the line into Horwich station, which closed in 1965 following the Beeching Report.
The church in the photo is Horwich Parish Church. The Chimney was part of the Pickup Toilet factory and was demolished by Fred Dibnah not long after the photo was taken - info supplied by Flickr contact jampot2.

Ex LMS 2-6-4 tank 42359, Horwich Works ? 1963
This was the first version of the 2-6-4T type for the LMS, very much in Derby/Midland Railway style. The type was completely redeveloped with taper boiler and improved cab after Stanier joined the LMS.

43140 at Horwich Works ? 1963
Ivatt Class 4 2-6-0 developed for the LMS in 1947. The very utilitarian appearance gained them a variety of nicknames. The one I was familiar with was 'nut 'n bolter'. The design developed into the slightly less spartan BR Standard class 4 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6465016 .
