I wondered if anyone could throw some light on this photograph;-
It was loaned to me by a friend who's grandfather is in the picture (he is the shunter in the middle). His name was Bill Lovatt and Bernard, his grandson remembers two other
names that his grandfather worked with, one being a 'Big' Jack Deaville and an Arthur Parsons, both from Chesterton where Bill Lovatt lived.
They may well be on the photo too but we cannot be sure.
Bill worked at various places at the NSR, including Stoke Yard and Chatterley in varying roles including shunter, goods guard, yard foreman and inspector. He retired in 1948 aged 65 after over 50 years service.
We have no idea where the photo of NSR number 138 was taken.
Any information, such as the approximate date, the place and any other info etc would be appreciated thanks.
