Monton Mural
The worker bee is one of the best-known symbols of Manchester, (the bee first appeared on the Salford coat of arms. Many crests and local coat of arms still have the bee) . It was adopted as a motif for Manchester during the Industrial Revolution, at a time when Manchester was taking a leading role in new forms of mass production, and symbolises Mancunians' hard work during this era and Manchester being a hive of activity in the 19th century.
Following the May 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, the bee emblem gained popularity as a public symbol of unity, appearing on protest banners and graffiti.

Patricroft Shed coaling tower
This is a standard LMS coaling tower probably installed in the 1930s to replace more primitive means of coaling locomotives. This is the 2-road version as would be needed for a large shed; I suspect the majority were single road. Coal wagons would be hoisted up the right-hand slope and then their contents tipped into the bunker in the body of the tower. Locomotive tenders and bunkers could then be filled from the tower bunker. Here Stanier 8F 48170 is being coaled.

Patricroft Shed scene
BR Standard 5 4-6-0 73125 awaits its next duty. 73125 was one of 30 (of 172 total) built fitted with Caprotti valve gear. This system uses rotary cams driving poppet valves rather having piston valves as with more conventional designs such as Stephenson's or Walschaerts'. Behind is the coaling tower - 48170 seen in Image has now been coaled and moved forward.
