A very grimy ex-LNWR 0-8-0 7F 'Super D' is seen standing in
line with an unknown ex-LMS 0-4-4T behind its tender. Whilst unfortunately
flawed, this photograph shows the impact of the lack of cleaning on goods
engines which became a frequent sight in post-war Britain. The booming post-war
economy meant that most workers were just not prepared to work in such
conditions nor for the low pay, and this was particularly the case in 'Car
Town' Coventry.
