Is the Sulphur tank tipping at Stavely ?

No it’s actually in Clapcott’s yard at Totton near Southampton, the tank in the background is a water tank for the yard behind.

DSCF0199.JPGI seem to recall this is a dodgy spot to tip when it’s windy. The wind whistles round those silos.

ahhh tip tanks will look up some of my pics from freund days when im home next :slight_smile:

Is the Sulphur tank tipping at Stavely ?

Had the pleasure ■■ of running sulphur Fawley to Stavely every day for a couple of years up till it closed, and then to Rocksavage works at Runcorn for a while, followed by a few months of running it to France. At least there were no cleanouts with sulphur barrels. :sunglasses:

The yard you mention was attached to the main site of Smiths of Eccles, Smiths used it regularly and when TDG moved in they parked a few rolled tankers and VOR kit there. Pickfords/Tankfreight was on the side nearest Dumplington circle and Massey Ferguson tractors on the other side
