 44941 arrives at Loughborough |
Typical of the last few months of operation, a filthy Black 5 drifts into Loughborough Central with a local train.
The foreground shows the down goods loop lifted; the old goods yard had been sold by this time for development. The station building looks much as it does today at the headquarters of the "new" Great Central Railway. |

The photos above show the south side of Loughborough station in May / June 1966. Note the position of the water tower and gap on the east side where the Ladybird Books building was built in 1970.
