Dear Mr Pilkington,
I was very impressed with your photo of the two Black 5s ready for hauling the Queen's train in 1961, displayed on Wigan World website. I am presently finalising a book on steam around Wigan and south Lancashire in the steam era, and wondered if you would be interested in submitting some photos, including this one, for possible inclusion in my book? If so, please contact me as soon as possible by email at: 4pearces@adam.com.au

Kind regards,
Kenn Pearce
