About 35 years after our previous visit to Crewe works, we
returned for an open day to what had been a special location for us in the past.
Although it was at the heart of former LNWR and LMS operations, on the day, I
chose to photograph mainly ex-LNER types. The elegant lines of the V2s are particularly
pleasing to the eye.
I remember that the eminent railway artist, Philip D
Hawkins, had a stall at the event, where he was selling signed prints of his
paintings. I wish now that I had shown more interest in his wares. I’ve come to
appreciate his skills all the more as time has again moved remorselessly on.
