Stockton & Darlington 150 Cavalcade day

[strang steel]

I have purchased a box of assorted transparencies, some of which were of the Shildon cavalcade in 1975.

They are of variable quality, but I have added them to my flickr pages here :-

Thanks Margaret.

I have not scanned them all yet, so will add more as I have time.

Whilst exploring a loft this morning - akin to tidying your sock drawer on a rainy day - I discovered in some of my father's 'stuff', a box of slides that I had long forgotten.
British Transport Films. Cavalcade Part A and Grand Cavalcade B. British Transport Films, Melbury Terrace.
He worked at Melbury Terrace in the 1970s and I guess he grabbed a set whist they were going as he had little interest in steam, as he primarily worked on the electrification of Euston to Crewe
All the slides are there and appear to be copies from originals as they are typical of the colour of the 1970s.
I also have the lists and descriptions but in set A there are more slides than matching descriptions.
Set A. 20 slides. "This unique collection of slides captures the early morning atmosphere at Shildon as the locomotives are prepared."
Mainly of close ups of people oiling and cleaning.
The Set B. 35 slides - all seem to be taken from a bridge on a straight track and are very dull compared to images taken by the current batch of photographers we have on this forum.
I suspect that if there is anything of interest for this group, it'll be in Set A, so I'll list the LNER locos listed.
