45407 + 45231 head 'The Tin Bath Extra' through Disley on their way to Sheffield. The Disley cutoff line brings back so many childhood memories of watching steam there.

45407 + 45231 head 'The Tin Bath Extra' out of Disley Tunnel on their way to Sheffield. The Disley cutoff line does not see many steam specials so it was a pleasure to see this on a line that is very much part of my childhood steam memories.

On July 16th 1823, William Wood was set upon and murdered by three men as he returned home to Eyam after selling cloth in Manchester. He was carrying £70, which was a significant sum of money. Two of his assailants were quickly captured; one was hanged and the other died of injuries after attempting suicide. The third was never found. The incident is commemorated by this stone beside the Buxton Old Road between Disley and Whaley Bridge.
