Information from back of photograph: A large casting (100 ton Hammer block) to the Railway Station for transfer to the Leeds Steel Works, proceeding along the Sheffield streets which were not damaged. Is it because the 2 tractors who did the majority of the pulling were fitted with rubber tyres. Traction engines - BJ2395 Coupe Bros; BJ3859 Garrett
