British Industrial Sand had two locomotives, this is one of them. They were both 'Planet' locomotives by F.C. Hibberd, works numbers 3832 and 4006 of 1957 and 1963. This is the older one. Sand traffic had ceased, or at least nearly so, by 1990. Clearly this locomotive has not moved for some time. The other one was nearby, looking a little less disused. I don't recall there was anything of interest in the shed.
