The photographs below show the movement of some of the locomotives being transported to and from the Churnet Valley Railway at Froghall, situated on the A52 Stoke to Ashbourne road, most transport operators and drivers will know the road by the two notorious hills, Kingsley Bank when approaching from the west and Whiston Bank from the east, Froghall sits between the two. 
The Churnet Valley Railway runs from Cheddleton on the A520 Stone to Leek road to Kingsley and Froghall station, through one of the most picturesque valleys in Staffordshire, it is well worth a visit. Their web site is: www.churnet-valley-railway.co.uk  where you can see more of David Gibson's work.

David Chalker  -  a tribute

David sadly passed away in December 2004, gone before his time, a very knowledgeable truck enthusiast who started photographing trucks in the late '60s.  It  was a privilege to have known him.  These photographs below are from his huge collection will remain on my site as a tribute to him.
