Shipley
40 181 with a Tinsley - Carlisle freight passing Shipley (Bingley Junction) on a September Saturday morning in 1974. It's not clear why coke was being taken northwards as potential major users such as Moss Bay and Ravenscraig steelworks possessed their own coking facilities. Perhaps one of these was decommissioned for maintenance work at this particular time.
