Cathedral city success as LMS tops the charts
HEREFORD may have been at the heart of GWR territory, but the cathedral city joined forces with the LMS at Great Central’s June 2 sale at Stoneleigh Park to demolish the opposition, when nameplate City of Hereford from Princess Coronation No. 46255 sold for £22,000.
The plate from the 1946-built Pacific was the only five-figure realisation under from GWR No. 7002, also built in 1946, sold at half-time at its reserve of £12,000.
