Erewash Valley main line at Stoneyford, near Langley Mill, 1963
View northwards, towards Codnor Park, Chesterfields and the North on the ex-Midland Main Line - in the 'pre-Thatcher Days', this was an artery for the coal traffic, mainly concentred at Toton Yard about 10 miles south of here. A typical Class H freight is running south on the Up Slow, headed by yet another Stanier 8F 2-8-0, No. 48672 (built in 1944 by the SR at Ashford Works, withdrawn 11/66). (See my many other photographs taken at this interesting spot).
