Berrys_Stack_24091988_02
From around 1986/7 a stack of locos built up in Berry's yard, containing a couple of dozen locos. The stack grew and shrank over time, mainly consisting class 25 & 27's, with the odd 45 thrown in. It even attracted the attention of national newspapers, featuring in a piece in the Independent in 1987.
Top row:-27023, 25095.
Middle row L to R:- 27025, 25xxx, 27208, 45064, 45129, 45xxx, 45063, 20167.
Bottom row L to R:- 27053, rest unknown.
Behind the stack to the left is the former goods warehouse, and to the right is the Fletcher Building of Leicester Polytechnic, now De Montfort University. Today, most of this is gone, replaced by a housing estate & shops. Even Fletcher Building, with it's paternoster lifts, one of only a handful in the UK, is no more.
