17th June 1987
This picture was taken at Great Bridge on 17 June 1987 in weather more suitable for November. There was nothing pleasant in any respect about the area around Great Bridge even though I do like the industrial scenery, but in these conditions it was really nasty. 47564 is seen here dragging three Class 101 DMU vehicles (looks like three brakes) to Gloucester past the semaphore signal controlled by Eagle Crossing box. There is some evidence of activity in the adjacent yard, but at this time it was quite rare to see any movement here. Peter Tandy.
17th May 1963
Vehicle: 50397
Park Royal class 103 DMBS M50397 is at work on a Walsall to Dudley service seen at Great Bridge North. This was the LNWR station at Great Bridge, the GWR station (Great Bridge South) was situated on the line from Swan Village to Horsleyfield Junction. The background is one of heavy industry with Evered's Works and Cashmore's, a firm that would be responsible for cutting many redundant railway vehicles. In 2010 nothing, apart from an overgrown segment of the station path, was visible. Taken by Peter Shoesmith on 17/05/1963. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
