I've never attracted controversy before.
The removal had nothing to do with them being children. I've photographed the young lady in red and bowler hatted many times before and given the photo's to the family. She has more years experience than I have with steam engines.
The reason I removed them was that in the photo they looked like children who were messing about throwing bricks into an unguarded machine. I know they knew what they were doing and they were kept an eye on but some 'jobsworth' might have seen the photo and started WW III. I made the changes to avoid negative comments about our hobby.
I've included a photo from Malpas with children to redress the balance, I'm sure Chris won't mind.
