The sidings were then for the traffic from the sand quarries through an arch under the main BR Quarry Line. This traffic had ceased, or at least nearly so, by 1990. British Industrial Sand had two locomotives, this is one of them, the other was nearby with bushes growing around it. They were both 'Planet' locomotives by F.C. Hibberd, works numbers 3832 and 4006 of 1957 and 1963. This is the newer one.

The sidings were then for the traffic from the sand quarries through an arch under the main BR Quarry Line behind the camera. This traffic had ceased, or at least nearly so, by 1990. British Industrial Sand had two locomotives, this is one of them, the other was beyond the shed on the left with bushes growing around it. They were both 'Planet' locomotives by F.C. Hibberd, works numbers 3832 and 4006 of 1957 and 1963. This is the newer one.

The sidings were then for the traffic from the sand quarries through an arch under the main BR Quarry Line in the distance. This traffic had ceased, or at least nearly so, by 1990. British Industrial Sand had two locomotives, this is one of them, the other is off to the right with bushes growing around it. They were both 'Planet' locomotives by F.C. Hibberd, works numbers 3832 and 4006 of 1957 and 1963. This is the newer one, the other did not have the handrail.

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.

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.

The developments beyond were formerly the works of British Industrial Sand, and the bridge gave both road and rail access, the rail being connected to the Redhill Line.

Units on Trowers Way, in the Holmethorpe Industrial Estate. The roundabout is the junction with Ormside Way, since 2005 the main access to the Estate (see Image).

Apartment blocks in The Moors, part of Watercolour, a major housing development on the site of the old Holmethorpe sand quarry, built over the first 15 years or so of the 21st Century. These buildings were completed in 2014, the last part of the development.

Originally road and rail access to the British Industrial Sand Holmethorpe Quarry under the Quarry Line (the section of the London-Brighton railway bypassing Redhill), this bridge now gives access from the west into the Watercolour housing development. beyond is the Holmethorpe Industrial Estate.

Part of a major housing development on the site of the old Holmethorpe sand quarry, marketed as Watercolour, built over the first 15 years or so of the 21st Century. These buildings are 5, 7 and 9 The Kilns, 3 apartment blocks in that road which were among the last buildings to be completed on the estate, in 2014.
