Industrial locomotive, Holmethorpe, 1990
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.

Railway yard, Holmethorpe, Redhill, 1990
British Industrial Sand had pits and processing plant through the arch under the main Brighton "Quarry Line" in the distance, and sand trains were handled in this yard by their locomotives. Two of these are on view, one with bushes growing around it, the other more recently used. Little or no sand traffic was handled in 1990, all of this has gone now.
