In this scene, taken by Peter Shoesmith, Gloucester RC&W Motor Parcels Van M55990 is standing in the bay Platform at Wolverhampton Station. A class 119 is arriving with a train for Shrewsbury and an 08 has a maroon BG in the parcels sidings. At this time Wolverhampton Station was dominated by the flour and provender mill, appropriately owned by J.N. Miller. The Mill closed in 1981 but flour Milling at the site ended in 1959. The mill suffered a fire in 2008 and was demolished. The transparency is on Dixon's finest Prinzcolor film and Peter unfortunately caught the sun full onto the DMU, I have managed to get some detail back in Photoshop but it still looks odd. Undated, the livery on the 119 suggests circa 1968 / 1969. Copyright Geoff Dowling & John Whitehouse; all rights reserved.
