Stephen sent me a clearer, and cleaner, copy of this pic, which we've used in St Mary's 2010 Calendar featuring railway scenes from the Parish. The caption for the pic reads: Patricroft-based, Jubilee Class 5668 “Madden”, polished up for Wigan’s 1948 Wembley Final posed at Springs Branch. Built 1935, scrapped 1963.

Barry, look in Assorted/Unknown/Page 4. That is where all the comments reside.
