Flying Scotchman accident at Heeley (Flying Scotsman see description)

---

From an original Illustrated London News engraving of 1876. Caption refers to an accident to the Flying Scotchman at Heeley station which is i believe in Sheffield. Although the Flying Scotsman wasn't built until 1923 the service it was named after was running from 1862 & was variously known as the Scotch express & the flying Scotsman so it's possible the titler mixed the 2 together.
