Down Near Purley


These are all from a large batch of slides I purchased. They all look as though they have been taken from either the first floor or garden of a property backing on to the down side of the line London End of Purley. I seem to remember that there was someone with an interest that lived in the area in the past. It looks like two Royal Trains (one hauled by 73142, the other by a class 47), the Stewart's Lane breakdown train and a passenger service hauled by 47263.
