We used to watch the immense traction engines hauling boilers up to the mills. It was a magnificent sight. Those huge engines were escorted by men walking alongside who threw sacking under the wheels to help them to grip the setts. The whole street seemed to shake with the pent up power. The columns of steam and smoke, the sweating grinning men and the boiler in tow, (usually painted red, with dark cavernous holes), all made up a scene like some tribal dance or ritual with the men casting their cloaks for their god to pass over.

There is some chance that the provenance details of this Northern Landscape (1957), aka Scenes of my Childhood, and Northern Landscape (1947/68/75) have got mixed up.
