Blackpool Central MPD

B1 61051 stands alongside Black 5 45102 on a busy Blackpool Central shed (24E) in 1962. The 5 was a resident but the B1 looks like one of the many locomotives that visited 24E after working into Blackpool Central on excursion trains at that time, in this case, judging by the 41A shed [plate, probably from the Sheffield area. The shed eventually closed in 1964 along with the large station it was built to serve see image 30284 and much of the area is now a car park.
