47193 "Lucinidae" with Tanks at Mirfield

Shell Oil pool loco 47193 "Lucinidae" passes the site of the old steam sheds at Mirfield with the empty tanks returning to Stanlow from Leeds. The shed closed to steam on 2nd January 1967 when the newly opened diesel depot at Healey Mills started operations, however the building itself survived for many years afterwards as the operating base of Patterson's road tankers. The building (out of view to the left of the tank trailers) was finally demolished in 2007. I do have so images of the shed during the Patterson occupation, which I will upload in due course.
