Lancashire boilers leaving Vickers - a photo on Flickriver

Recently scanned from a photograph album dating from the early 1920s. These Lancashire boilers are leaving the Vickers works, Barrow-in-Furness. As they are on LMS wagons, it must be 1923 or later. The photo is numbered, confirming that it was an official photo taken by the works photographers.

At this size and length they were static boilers, built into brickwork. They were common in Lancashire's textile mills. (There are a lot of dubious claims on internet about locomotive and marine uses, clearly copied page to page.)

Photograph now in the Vickers Photographic Archive held at the Dock Museum, Barrow-in-Furness. Project funding from National Lottery Heritage Fund
