I'm trying to locate images of a piece of LU trackside equipment that I can only describe from memory as being like a Grecian urn on a pole, about 3-4 feet high, black iron, with a bolted lid so probably some sort of hydraulic oil filled pressure vessel. It would date from possibly from the early days of the deep level up to the 50s / 60s. It may have been associated with sidings, possibly related to buffer stops.
Can anyone assist?

Sounds like a Ransome and Rapier Buffer Stop.
