New photo discoveries - help needed please!
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all. Two new images from some recently discovered 30s photographs. Can anyone identify the locations, there are plenty of background features to help!

I am going to take a punt and say Woodcock is on the Kings Cross Turntable.
No idea with Gladiateur.

Ay up!
That's an NER coach behind Gladiateur and she still has the Westo pump. Is that Hope Town carriage works in the background?

4493 'Woodcock' is on the turntable at King's Cross Top Shed.
The loco is in green livery, which it carried from new 7/1937 to 7/1938. I cannot tell if the tender coal space has been altered, this was carried out early in 1938.
I don't know where 2569 is but as it still has a Westinghouse Pump so the picture is before September 1933 when it entered works for general repair, but after 1928 when it received the GN tender, not sure when the number moved to the cabside, but 1928 is likely for that too.
