Our Christmas & New Year visit to Nottingham and Toton

1971 produced this view immediately after alighting from our train from St Pancras. It was cold and bleak looking east from Nottingham Midland station towards the Parcels Concentraion Depot on the left, and the freight yard to the right. The Sulzer Type 2 Class 25 was beginning to move with its motley collection of freight wagons from the yards in the direction of Colwick, no longer in constant use with coal traffic. Note the Singer Vogue about to cross the bridge above.
