Class 20 loco at York
The location of the photo (previously submitted via the Speculative Uploads area without attracting any comment) has been identified with reasonable certainty from looking at improved online historic mapping. The photographer locations is alongside Poppleton Road; the building in the background would be the former carriage shed; it has been replaced since the 1980s by housing on Penshaw Gardens. The location of the class 20 diesel loco in the foreground is roughly where the Pride of York Arch now stands Image Ben Brooksbank's 1960 shot Image was probably taken from nearly the same spot (a staff car park, I think). Photo scanned from a colour slide.
