    On this Day in History - Colwick – 1st June 1969

    In the latter half of the 1960’s I used to cycle out from Clifton to the large Great Northern Railway MPD on the eastern outskirts of Nottingham at Colwick (16B). By this time its once large allocation was down to a few diesel shunters with its main line fleet being provided almost exclusively by Toton and I still have the log for my final visit on the 1st June 1969 shortly before its closure. Following closure the locomotives were then fuelled at Nottingham and stabled in and around the carriage sidings and London Road Parcels depot. On shed on this final vist were:

    Class 08 (3403/07/25/26, 3790), class 20 (8013/16/40/61/63/65/67, 8137/39/41/58/60/62/68/70/74/78/84/91/93/96/97/98), class 31 (5629) and class 47 (1808).

    It’s a sign of the scale of the decline of the coal traffic around Nottingham that in 1969 the local collieries (Linby, Annesley, Newstead, Hucknall, Babbington, Calverton, Gedling and Cotgrave, plus Staythorpe power station could provide employment for eleven pairs of class 20’s and one class 47. All these pits and the power station have all closed since 1969.

    A number of the above were photographed later in life and can be found in this collection. As always feedback and comments welcome

    On this Day in History - Derby Works – 2nd June 1974.

    Thirty seven years ago I visited Derby with a session on the station and a tour round the now closed and demolished Derby Locomotive Works. This is what I saw that summer’s day:
    Derby Station
    Class 03 (03397), class 08 (08108/09/49, 08414/55, 08612/22), class 20 (8016, 20040, 20156/58/61/98), class 25 (25315), class 45 (27/53/57, 100/10/21/35, 45119), class 46 (46034/50/53), class 47 (47034/89, 47353/81)
    Derby works
    Class 08 (3047, 3870, 3914, 08134, 08281, 08333/64/82, 08466, 08535/69, 08696, 08820/90, 08929/31/33/51), class 09 (09017/25), class 17 (8512/98), class 24 (24030/50/64/79), class 25 (5225, 25002/32/54/58, 25108/83/90, 25203/76/87), class 44 (44001), class 45 (22/78, 111/17/24/32, 45017/18, 45111), class 46 (46021/27/38/41/48/54).

    Locomotives of note are 3047 which was withdrawn in July 1973 and was being prepared for export to Liberia.
