I remember sand trains going to the Glassworks when I used to go watching trains at Taylor's Lane Bridge - I think they used to use part of the old Whelley Loop line?
A very interesting photograph! Co-incidentally I am in the process of preparing an article about industrial sand traffic for publication in one of the railway magazines. I would very much like to include this photograph in my article. Could I ask Mr Sutch to contact me please?
