radiomike7 13 Posted December 30, 2017 Not sure if we know about this site, not seen it myself before. Check out the ex RAF Constructor. https://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/misc-sites/35681-truck-stop.html#.WkYdGUx2sy8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.S. 11 Posted December 30, 2017 And that looks like a genuine 1/2 cab (i.e. no top half) Matador near the end? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamber 10 Posted December 30, 2017 Wow, there's certainly some stuff in there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Comber 12 Posted December 31, 2017 Blimey , quite a collection , assuming an old dealers yard I could not work out if recently viewed or historic photos ? Need to show the dutchess these to stop her moaning, just to highlight it could be worse at home than the yard art we have !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Comber 12 Posted December 31, 2017 Had not viewed all the photos in the thread , amazed to see Tony Jordan's old highwayman and trailer just left to rot , how sad , ( I recall that coming loaded to GDSF with a Pioneer on the trailer 18 years ag0 ) I see photos are taken this month.

earlymb 17 Posted December 31, 2017 Looks like a nice collection of usable parts and maybe even some restorable vehicles... It might be worth while to find out where this site is and who owns it/the vehicles? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.S. 11 Posted December 31, 2017 The oldest vehicle (albeit not military) looks like the Scammell in the first 2 pics - and might be the rarest if it is a 6 wheeler. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polecat paul 10 Posted January 1, 2018 Looks a very interesting place! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rog8811 11 Posted January 1, 2018 I remember finding this place on google earth some years ago, all that seems to have happened in the intervening time is that everything has deteriorated a bit more, sad really there are some lovely trucks there. The guy says the house on the site is empty so you have to wonder who owns this lot now..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would add that I do not condone trespassing on private land and that the photos were not taken by myself or anyone I know.
