We finish with this rather sad view of work worn 1024 County of Pembroke in for repair at Wolverhampton Works. From the looks of things it has been towed to the Works for repair as the connecting rod is on the running plate chained to the nameplate and roped to the boiler, presumably with the other one in a similar position on the other side. 16.12.62
