Founded in 1942 F H Gilman & Co. were stone quarriers based in Stamford but in later years also did bulk potato storage and transport until administration in 2014. This was their principal potato warehouse a few years ago. In the background are pallet storage racks easily several storeys high with the company records boxed up in 6' high stacks below to give an idea of scale.
Only had phone and a torch but surprised how good the photo came out.

There would be a lot of the company's history in those records. Who is going to scan all the documents?
 
My hubby, who's a treadhead, says it's American, post war, probably an M47 maybe an M48. Not something you stumble on every day [unless you're a Ukrainian with a tractor.] M47s were exported all over as US military assistance, because they didn't like them. Look generous and get rid of junk at the same time; can't miss, Uncle Sam. Good place for frogs to perch. Uh, where is it?
