Notes (David G)

The location is Gloucester Station in1963 for the 50th Anniversary of the first train to Gloucester in 1913.
I am somewhere in the crowd as a 15 year old train fanatic.
One of the ladies on the front of the engine is Mrs Irene Hicks, President of the Gloucester Historical Society who lived next door to our home at 19 Queen Street.
