Wolverhampton Low Level
Ex-GWR Castle class locomotive no 5047 Earl of Dartmouth with the 8.50am Birkenhead - Paddington train at a rain-soaked Wolverhampton Low Level station on 15 August 1962. The 4-6-0 was withdrawn from Wolverhampton's Stafford Road shed the following month. Wolverhampton Low Level itself closed to passengers in 1972 but saw subsequent use as a parcels depot see image 19662 and latterly as the BR Divisional Engineer's offices. The listed main station building still stands and is currently part of a planned mixed retail and residential development which would incorporate the former station site.
