60s Steam @ Hockley

All credits for this short video must go to A-Z productions I bought this video in the early 90s called the Changing Face Of British Railways. The clips show Hockley ( now known as the Jewellery Quarter) in the 1960s. Enjoy

Wonderful video thanks for sharing. My Aunt lived in Hockley, childhood visits there early 60svwere always to an accompaniment of buffers ringing during shunting…. But these are the first images I have seen.

If that was Clun Castle in GWR livery "The Zulu" pounding through Hockley then it was my husband who was the fireman! 4th March 1967.

Fine set of clips Bill. I was born only a stones throw away from Hockley. Great memories. Clive.
