Some considerable time ago, the Leeds and District Traction Engine Club was able to borrow a photograph album from the firm which occupied part of the site on Pepper Road, Hunslet, which was previously occupied by the Yorkshire Patent Steam Wagon Company (YPSWCo), a branch of Deighton’s Patent Flue & Tube Co Ltd. The parent firm became Yorkshire Vehicles Ltd, later to be part of the Hestair Group which maintained a presence in Leeds for the maintenance of gully emptiers and road sweepers. Some of the photos in the album were copied in some sort of numerical/chronological order and were subsequently investigated.
In one of the images on the resulting strips of negatives, a six-wheel Sentinel waggon with a Mann’s steam wagon just visible in the background to its right could be seen. It was not possible to read the whole of the owner’s name on the Sentinel waggon’s side
