Description:This group of locomotive or train spotters are sitting on a level crossing gate close to Burton-upon-Trent Railway Station. Please contact us if you recognise anyone in the picture.
In the background is Burton Station South signal box. On the extreme left there is a glimpse of the former Ind Coope Ltd. bottling stores. Originally built as Ind Coope and Allsopp's Maltings around 1880, the buildings were extensively remodelled in 1947 to become the bottling stores, which closed in 1987. Imex Business Park opened in the buildings in 1991 and closed in 2017. The buildings were demolished in 2018 to make way for a housing development.
