Maintenance on the HMT Lancashire

Old photograph I got possession of (part of whole bundle of old black and white images). The back of this photo identifies the old ship as HMT Lancashire. Note that the date is a wild guess.

The HMT Lancashire was built in 1914 for Bibby Line, and in 1930 converted to permanent troopship (I guess this photo was taken after the conversion). She was scrapped at Barrow in 1956. She measured Length 502 ft. Breadth 57 ft. Depth 35 ft. 10 ins. Tonnage 9,543 tons, H.P. 6,000.
