Category:Rolling stock associated with British Sugar Corporation
West Midlands Sugar Co (later British Sugar Corporation) (BSC) operated a factory from 1925 to 1982 at Foley Park, producing sugar from beet. It involved use of shunters and other rolling stock, some of which were acquired by the SVR.
A total of open 14 wagons were donated to the SVR by BSC, 10 in June 1969 and 4 in May 1971 as detailed below. The 1998 Stock Book stated that all but 4 of these had been cut up, however a fifth was still in existence in 2012. '*' denotes registration numbers and dates.
