One wagon conspicuous by it's abscense is the Butterley Patent steel mineral wagon. Running from the 1930's through to the 1960's it has the opportunity for lots of liveries. Unfortunately I've only seen a drawing of the underframe. There are quite a few photos of the body though and one still exists albeit with replacement wooden sides and ends.

I have been discussing the commission of an LMS roadstone wagon with Justin ...
These wagons were fairly common in the Peak District According to one of the Foxline books dealing with the Peak District one traffic flow was to East Anglia where the customer was the sugar beet industry.

They also ran to Mansfield, though I'm unsure of the traffic flow. Mansfield had a large number of sand quarries, mostly rail connected so they might have been used for that and also limestone just a little further North around Whitwell. I don't know if they were used on the LMS limestone traffic from there before BR introduced the Conflat L.
Mention of Sugar Beet, they probably ran to Newark via Southwell or Nottingham.
