Examples of raised buffer stops on BR

[Simon Glidewell]

Does anyone have any photos of sidings which rise up at an angle (ballasted to raise the track) just before the buffer stop? I've seen lots of these over the years but can't remember specific locations. They used to be common when several sidings were grouped together. I would imagine that it was a deliberate practice to help stop wagons, etc, rolling. Here's one example, but it's not a very good one; some are more extreme that this:-

A lot of the time it was not that the buffer stop was built up, it was that the track dropped in a dip so that a wagon with no brakes on would not run back to the yard ETC.
