This is a photo of my late brother. He was a driver at Springs Branch. He started as a cleaner on the steam locos in 1956. He was known as ' Lonesome ' evidently. Maybe someone remembers him.

My brother worked at Springs Branch in the fifties. Unfortunately his memory has failed him so I can't ask if he knew your brother, but he probably did. My brother's name is Colin Griffiths and he lived in Higher Ince.

He's been throwing tea or coffee out the window.
Good chap Eddie.
