LMS ‘Princess Coronation’ Class No. 6233 Duchess of Sutherland and LMS ‘Patriot’ (rebuilt) No. 45514 Holyhead. Whilst Holyhead has its new BR number, Duchess of Sutherland still has its old LMS number. Just to the right of the Duchess is an advert for Sketchley Dry Cleaners which, at the time, had adverts in a great number of stations. Also evident is the splendid original station roof, now alas a thing of the past having been replaced by concrete in the 1960s. An image of the past: Euston on 13th July 1948. While ‘Duchess of Sutherland’ lives on in preservation, everything else in the photograph has gone… Image Credit: Sutton Coldfield Railway Society Moseley Collection.
