33035 performed well on the ELR throughout the day and looked to be in good restored condition but for rather faded hi-viz. ends as seen here at Heywood station. I am about to join the train for the short trip back to Bury Bolton Street as the 15.15 to Rawtenstall, the final down train of the day. In the background is the tower of the now named Pheonix Brewery dating from 1898. This was Bass brewery up until closure in the 1980s with it being taken over by Pheonix in 1991. It is interesting that Heywood's Morrisons store, in a nod to the town's heritage, has built a central tower very similar to the brewery's but on a much smaller scale.
