Two million gallons petroleum storage at Yelland.
Easter saw the arrival of the first five tankers at the new Shell-Mex and B.P. Ltd. depot at East Yelland . The new depot receives its supplies by sea from the B.P. Refinery at Llandarcy and the Shell refinery at Stanlow and one of the first arrivals is pictured moored alongside the small quay at the end of the long jetty discharging her cargo of petroleum through one of the three pipe lines that run alongside the jetty back to the cluster of storage tanks which have a capacity of 2,000,000 gallons.
