Continuing the Sentinel thread Morrisons supermarket in Shrewsbury is built on part of the old Sentinel works site, to commemorate this there are two carved wooden panels in the restaurant depicting Sentinel vehicles including a steam wagon and a Ribble / Beadle bus before Leyland could supply underfloor engined buses to Ribble.
Cheers. Leyland 600.
Coincidentally, I passed the Sentinel Works in pouring rain last night, returning from a weekend with relations.
Morrisons Leyland store built on the former Leyland Motors Comet factory site and wartime tanks prior to building wagons have the following pictures on display in the entrance foyer and within the store. There were more photos in the restaurant showing assembly lines etc plus a line up of pld J. Fishwick 1930s buses.
Cheers Leyland 600.

Fodens, one in Oz with large rad, this I understand to be for extra cooling in the higher air temperatures.

I was not aware that Sentinel originated in Glasgow 1875 before moving to Shrewsbury 1915, my education goes on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_Waggon_Works
Another example, thanks to Ed Dingley and with the message possibly taken at Kendal.

This classic motor has a Newcastle on Tyne REG. 1934, perhaps It started its working life there ■■?, Regards Larry.
When I first had the pleasure (!) of attending Liverpool Docks there were still one or two Sentinel steamers dragging trailers up & down the Dock Road.
First time I was in Liverpool as a lad about 8 I remember seeing steam wagons on the Dock Rd, but later in 1962 when I too had the PLEASURE !! as you call it ROF there were heavy horses pulling four wheel wagons with loads of bags on them. Of course I had plenty of time to observe them spending hours sitting in dock queues when a little bribery with the quay foreman did not work ot his terms were too high. No wonder they got upset when containerisation came in !!!
Cheers, Leyland 600
Didn’t do that much Docks delivery, but well remember the dockers gratuities as we knew them, like Bristol Docks, (yes Bristol not Avonmouth) a few times with cars for Alexanders of Belfast, why they left from Bristol and not further north I don’t know. The gratuities were in the form of petrol, at that time all cars leaving the Cowley factory had approx. 4/5 gals. of fuel in them, all drivers carried a jerrycan, some more than one, now syphoning fuel from the cars was technically a sackable offence, but management (some previously guilty when themselves were drivers 
) knew it went on and as long as you fiddled with a spoon and not a shovel, it was mostly overlooked, shipped cars were not allowed on board with fuel in tanks, of course the dockers job it was to drain them, bonanza time for them, some greedy drivers had them part drained before arriving at the docks, Mr Docker was not happy and a compromise was agreed with Mr Docker getting the Lions share, when you arrived with 9 cars on their eyes lit up and you were quickly on your way. Went to London Docks a couple of times , Irongate Wharf by Tower Bridge once, no problem also once to King GeorgeV and Jack Dash had it closed, had to take them (Land Rovers) back again.
Did a lot of Dock collection from Southampton, Renault and Simca.

I used to collect sherry from Bristol docks, but later the barrels were shipped to Southampton, from where we hauled them by road to the Bristol warehouse, reloading with barrels of the stuff for Glasgow. Empty barrels back to Bristol made for a decent round trip, the only downside being the climb up Shap when fully loaded.
Cheers to Lawrence Dunbar for the vintage pic
a few on the A96 Inverness outskirts, starting with a Swiss wagon.

I was told that Metcalfe Farms had been told by one of their customers
to get some proper heavies and not keep using 6x2s . Here are a couple
in Lancashire plus a proper wagon in snow in Lancaster.
