In late 1960, 7812 moved to the Oswestry/Shrewsbury/Cambrian area where 7802 Bradley Manor was already working. Both locomotives were thought to have been withdrawn at Shrewsbury on 6th November 1965, and both moved to [[Barry Scrapyard | Woodham’s scrapyard]] at Barry in June 1966. However, in November 2015, evidence in the form of a footplate diary (see rightbelow) was presented to the Erlestoke Manor Fund, indicating that Erlestoke Manor was still in service on 13th November 1965. <gallery>File:FredWellsDiary.jpg|Footplate diary showing probably the last move of 7812 by a BR driver</gallery>
