Alnmouth?
Hi on another site this is an unknown location, I think its Alnmouth looking North from the down platform. Although its a poor pic if you enlarge it there appears to be a plume of steam just about where the Alnwick branch diverged Westwards. Your thoughts gents.
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.

Not my area at all but it just so happens that I did once take a shot from the north end of Alnmouth down platform:

Re: Alnmouth?
Travelled behind that loco many times, ive had pic confirmed and dated to 1900 plus or minus 10 years. Would make an excellent model but i wouldnt like Chaz on my back about the signalling. I may be on that train. I dont know if you noticed the access stairway has been moved from the North to the South of the box and that the box still controls its section of the ECML. I think its the only pre grouping box on the ECML.
