Hello
No photos (Sorry 
) but you might be intersted to know that National Benzole ran 2 depots in West ■■■■■■■■ One at Workington Dock at one at Maryport. Both depots became part of BP Shell Mex in the 1960’s and eventually BP. The Maryport Depot was closed very early on and the Workington Depot continues to operate.
In North ■■■■■■■■ the company ran the Dalston Storage Depot, which is now owned by BP andis still a busy depot.
Both depots ran quite a number of tankers, all Leyland (I was told)
Kindest regards
