Description

BR Standard Class 5 No. 73052 (built 1954) is seen with a northbound passenger service of three carriages and a van passing under Cliff bridge in 1956.

The carriage set is numbered 395; this set was built in 1926 and withdrawn in 1961. 73052 is shown as allocated to Bath Green Park from new until withdrawal in December 1964/January 1965.

Cliff cutting was infilled in the ’80s and early ’90s but the North Dorset Trailway runs over the top of the infill.
