LSWR Urie S15 4-6-0 30506, photographed at Alresford in June 1976, in the early days of the MHR. The view is eastwards with the station building out of shot immediately on the right. 30506 was subsequently restored and operated from 1987 to 2001. A further overhaul then ensued but it returned to steam again in 2019, in time for its centenary in October 2020. The rather stylish Vauxhall Viva estate is also now a point of interest in this image.
