The reverse has faint pencil annotations reading "Wm CORY", "PURFLEET WHARF?"., and "MW 1756/10". A crane jib extends upwards in the background behind the engine, and railway wagons are coupled to the rear.
The "Steam Locomotive Train Wm Cory Purfleet Wharf Manning Wardle MW 1756 VTG Photo" would be an ideal addition to a collector's steam engine or railway memorabilia collection.
