Another image from my recent visit to Embsay Railway Station near Skipton. These old fire buckets must have been the emergency response in the event of a steam train sparking off a fire on the station. I can’t imagine them being a whole lot of use in all except the most trivial of events.
Fill with sand or water and hope you never need them!

I wonder how effective they would have been in the event of a fire. Nice processing, Frank
Cheers Andy. I think they would probably be most effective as hard hats!
