Michael Brown's photo of former GNR 4-4-2s 990 & 521 climbing out of Leeds- 20.9.1953

Michael Brown's photo of former GNR 4-4-2s 990 & 521 climbing out of Leeds- 20.9.1953
This excursion from Leeds via Doncaster and Lincoln to London, Kings Cross was to celebrate the centenary of the Doncaster Railway Works or 'Plant'. The locomotive on the return trip was A4 60014 Silver Link. This information was obtained from www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/50s/530927_1.html
I don't know my father's connection with Michael Brown, but this and the photo of A3 60074 Harvester are in the back of his 1957 - 61 album along with others by a number of photographers. Michael Brown obviously has Yorkshire connections at this time, when we had just moved to Somerset from Ripon, so I guess that they were railway enthusiasts who continued a correspondence after we moved. If Mr.Brown or the current copyright holders of these two excellent photos have any objection to me sharing them publicly, I shall remove them. My email address is in my profile.

SV1XV has particularly liked this photo
