What looks an AEC Mammoth Major 6, and the Golden Arrow pulled by a 4-6-0 loco, probably British. Would some of you know the spot where the picture was taken? Thanks.

Yes, obviously, and I’d say at some kind of junction, looking at the signal gantry in the background; couldn’t that be between Biclkey and Petts Wood? A detail I hadn’t noticed is the guy in the hut, certainly in charge of the level crossing. I guess tis is a temporary arrangement for some kind of building site?
I think that the Pickfords Mclaren tractor was preserved?

Well in the 50/60s I used to reload from Beardmores in Glasgow with the very same shafts to Doxfords and Parsons in Newcastle, The main contractor at that time was P & S Contracts Ltd, They rang some of the first big Macks Ide ever seen in those good old days, Larry.

Great pictures as ever, I am fairly certain that the first picture is Mount Pleasant,
a main road leading down to Liverpool city centre. Cheers, Ray.

Shame on you, what an unwarrented slur on Liverpudlians.
