A visit to Tyseley Locomotive Works
14th February 2009

I felt another visit to Tyseley Locomotive Works was long overdue - my first visit in 2009.

"NB...Tyseley Locomotive Works, the Visitor Centre & the Site are closed during the winter period.

See further announcement on opening in Spring 2009"
