A heavy load stops the Manchester traffic, 1962. A policeman stops traffic as a giant 85-foot absorption tower is pulled slowly through the streets of Dukinfield by a Foden lorry owned by Edward Beck & Son. The tower was on its way from its manufacturer, the Woodall Duckham Company, to the Coleshill coal preparation plant near Birmingham.
