    Interesting to see that the 84xxx tanks appeared to be of rivetted construction (despite their construction date) whereas the 82xxx ones are welded.

    Deffinatly Bristol Bath Road on the outside toward the river before the site was redeveloped to make way for the diesel traction shed. Picture is probably 1957/58 could be later 60/61 the apex roof in the background lived on until the late1990's
