Can anyone assist in identifying the location of this 1930s shot of LNER (former GNR) 'Atlantic 4-4-2 No 4411?
Any suggestions?
Many thanks, John.
My guess would be Hitchin, I've seen either the same photo of one very similar before [1], the low wall, four tracks and shadows all fit - Hitchin had a shed on the 'south east' side of the station, along side the down platform (centre roads were up and down main).
[1] IIRC John you once said that you have a set of the (much lamented...) Railway Reflections magazines, I think there were photos of 'Hitchin' in one of the modelling supplements, if not in the main magazine it's self.hth?
PS, any more photos of that ilk?... :~))

Hitchin has been confirmed from another source and a date prior to 12/7/36 has been established - the shed is recorded elsewhere as having a freshly painted new roof on that date.
Plenty more images of that era, including at least one more of a GNR 'Atlantic' at Kings Cross, all made by the late Alan Whitehead, many of whose negatives I've recently been fortunate to acquire.
