This authentic 1970s colour photograph captures the historic steam locomotive Blanche departing from Porthmadog Harbour Station on the Ffestiniog Railway, Gwynedd, Wales, in 1973. The image provides a factual record of the narrow-gauge line’s heritage operations, documenting the green-liveried steam locomotive as it curves away from the platform with a lengthy rake of passenger carriages. A significant architectural detail is the Britannia Foundry visible in the background, a historic stone industrial building that was demolished shortly after this photograph was taken. The scene is a valuable snapshot of early-1970s Welsh transport history, showing the steam-era infrastructure and rolling stock in active use. As a self-contained archival record, this shot serves as an essential resource for railway historians and collectors of vintage Welsh narrow-gauge and industrial photography.
