Fantastic picture, very clear. Thanks for putting them on.

John Holden drove the locos on nights

I WORKED AT PARKSIDE FROM 1964 UNTIL IT CLOSED I WAS THE LOCO FITTER AND I HAVE A PHOTO OF ME ON THIS NO7 LOCO ON THE WALL IN MY HOME

Never mind all that get that bloody pit bottom stone dusted!!

I worked with john holden on nights drivin locos

hello my father used to work at parkside his name was Andrew Kieron Morris. and so did my grandfather Harry morris, sadly both have passed away my father only in Novemeber of 2011. he worked with kieth horsefield who we still see from time to time. I visited parkside as a small girl about 4 or 5 years of age and i remember sitting in the winding chair (dark green if i remember rightly) with a huge yellow drum opposite! just wondering if anyone remembers them ? i walked for hours over the former parkside site today and its a shame to look at :( ill never forget all the stories he used to tell me! the name john holding rings a bell and i think another one was dave glover theres a few i remember ! best bedtime stories as a kid ever !!

I used to hate to drive that no7 loco,no8 was the best.I trained John,wasnt as good as me,thats why they put him on nights out of the way

it was my loco no3 horizon i knew ken berry and elec ronnie tuffnell
