View of BR Standard Class 5 4-6-0 No 73013 about to be turned on Snow Hill's turntable which was located adjacent to Northwood Street and Taylor & Challen's works. The original turntable had been located to the West and very close to the platforms of the second station. Because the third station was significantly longer the turntable was moved to the East of Snow Hill station when it was rebuilt in 1911. Built at Derby works in August 1951, No 73000 remained in service until May 1966 when it was withdrawn from Bolton shed to be scrapped in August 1966 by J Cashmore of Great Bridge.
