Passed crossleys on a Shipley Bradford train today. At the shipley end of the yard in a headshunt there are 2 small industrial shunters in very bad condition. I noticed 1 nameplate - girls name.
anyone know anything about them?
forgot the name - sorry.
should this be in nostalgia?

I used to commute between Leeds and Bradford in 1999-2001. They were there then and didn't appear to move much !

Is that an old Seddon Atkinson parked in front of them too?

If you put "Beth crossley scrapyard shipley" into Google one of the links it brings up is to a book "Industrial Locomotives and Railways of Yorkshire" with full details of these locomotives.
