Two steam locomotives - probably used for marshalling wagons in the yard

Twin-track inclined plane to top of tip - similar in outline to a Cornish China Clay 'sky tip'. What is causing the steam/mist coming off the waste?

Having worked a mile or so away from this site at the current Hanson Brick site, any movement of brickmaking material in warm, dry weather can cause huge clouds of dust and back in the 1930's they weren't bothered too much about safety - nowadays they'd have to spray the muck they were tipping to reduce the likelihood of causing a cloud of dust.
