It was the 150th anniversary not the125th as stated. Nice print.
My wife & I have an original painting by John Wigston of Roseberry Topping, and of the church on Thornaby Green, both of which he did for us, also have the same print “The 5:20 thru’ Stockton. If I recall Mr Wigston worked in the Oil works lab at ICI Billingham.
As a follow up, these pictures & print are in Canada, we brought them over from Stockton, and are now with our two sons, also in Canada, since we downsized three years ago.
Hi Jim,
It’s a great print….Please send your tel number to pictures@stockton.gov.uk so that they can pass it onto me.
All the best…
