Olympic Torch at brace of Fosters, a caged Tiger & an Aveling

[Bosiboz]

We were invited to jon the celebrations as the Olympic torch procession entered Wolverhampton. Not the most salubrious area but we had a good time. Mamaged to go and have a look at the old Great Western Low Level Station. Good to see its been renovated compared to the last time I visited pity no trains run through the station any more. Managed to have a swift pint of Holdens Special in the adjacent Great Western pub. Day was topped off by seeing the Duchess come through Duffield. Few photos as usual:
































What year did they start fitting catylitic converters to Guy lorries?



Finally the Duchess

Thanks Sam, the instructions from the council were to make lots of noise when the torch went past so we thought we better fit the big one!
