The LNER Encyclopedia

This is a long shot as I don’t even know if the wagon is ex LNER but here goes.
On page 265 of “The Bishop’s Stortford, Dunmow and Braintree Branch” by Peter Paye is a photo taken at Takely of a freight train being crossed by the Stortford bound branch passenger service. In the consist of the goods train is a wooden bodied mineral with raised and curved ends. Date of picture is Feb 52 by which time I would have expected this style of mineral to be extinct. I am building a model of Felsted and would like to include this wagon if it can be identified.
Sorry unable to provide an image.
Any ideas appreciated.

I know there were quite a few reprints of Peter's books but I have a first impression of this book and it only has 208 pages.
I can't find an image that meets your description.
What's the print date of your volume?

Only ~25% of the nationalised mineral wagon stock was to the 1923 design. There were thousands of much older wagons about and if this one had oil axleboxes it might have lasted a few years longer. I don't have the book, but there were a number of wagon builders who put out raised or rounded end designs.

Is there any trace of the owner on the wagon?

Hello,
I have the original too, this one was printed in 2010 by Oakwood Press, completely reworked and runs to 352 pages. If I weren’t such a computer numpty I’d scan the image and post but alas beyond my capabilities.
If the first book was of interest, this one offers a lot more info

Thanks Jonathan for the info. Alas the photo is taken from the passing passenger train so not much of the side profile or chassis details. I can just discern it is wooden and the ends are higher than the sides and approximately the same height as the adjacent conventional mineral wagon.
Cheers
