Just inside the pit gates.On the left can just be seen the front of the shunting diesel loco.The two stop barriers now seen in the raised position,were over the years,regularly dropped onto cars and on one occasion onto an old lady's head!

Hi Chris, Im the author of the hugely popular book "Golborne in Old Photographs". Im currently working on my second book, "Golborne : Then & Now" and would relly like to use your photo in the book. Im sure you can tell from the title what the content will be! Please email if you would like your photo included in the book and give me permission to use it. Its such an ace photo, it would be ashame not to include it! Many thanks Robert D Hughes. email: yeoldegolborne(at)(hotmail)(dot)(com).
