Victoria Colliery Steam Shunter And Coal Wagons 1969

A Memory of Biddulph.

I remember as a 4 year old, standing outside my late grandmother ( Annie Bailey's ) railway cottage, watching the steam engine pulling coal laden, wooden frame coal wagons past the Railway Cottages. The Driver and Fireman would both wave their cloth caps at me, as I stood and watched, fascinated !!!

The smell of the steam and coal was acrid, full of magic and atmosphere !!!
