The Soothing Sound Of Steam

A Memory of Northwich.

Living in London Road within earshot of the long goods trains struggling across the viaduct up the bank with a load of limestone for ICI I loved lying in bed listening to the steam engines. I believe the engines were often the Black 5's with a distinctive voice which still gives me a thrill today, and as for seeing a preserved one today !!!! Heather Morrey ( nee Swindells )

I lived in Heysoms avenue,Greenbank.From my room i could see the Winnington branchline and heard and saw the 8f locos hauling the limestone hoppers to I.C.I.If dad was working,bank holidays were absolutely quiet in the garden,so much that you could hear the racing at Oulton park!
