Description: | A horse-drawn oil tanker, delivering 'Lustre' lamp oil; an important commodity before eletric lightling became widely available.Before the advent of the motor car, the major product of the oil industry was paraffin. After refining, the pertol fraction of the crude oil was thrown away as being of no value and, in fact, dangerous. The sign of the Brown Cow Pub can be seen beyond the tanker. | Publisher: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.uk/ | Rights holder: | North Lincolnshire Council Image Archive | Subjects: | Horse_Drawn_Vehicles High_Street Places Views Transport Edwardian Traction_Engines Street_Views Road Ashby | Source: | North Lincolnshire Museums | Identifier: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.... | Go to resource |
