Hazelwell Station: mrhaz504
Ex-LMS 4-6-0 Black 5 No 44814 at the head of an express
passes through the station on 5th May 1953. The station has been closed for the
best part of twelve years but is still substantially intact. Number 44814 was
built by Derby works in October 1944, some three years after the station had
closed, and remained in service until it was withdrawn from Crewe (South) shed
in September 1967 to be scrapped by TW Ward of Beighton. Richard Strange writes
'The Black 5 was sold on 20th November 1967 and sent to Ward's on 6th December
1967. I have here a copy of both the official BR sales agreement and the
despatch date'.
