I have lost count how many times I have been here.being on my doorstep it's a place I often pop too for a wander.medlers was well known in Norfolk as a scrapyard.it was one of the largest in the country.and at its peak mr medlers had thousands of cars in acres of woodland.they reckon as you drove down the drive there was loads of old cars from the twenties and thirties.my step father used the place regularly.and said he was a hard man to deal with.and told me of tricks off going in to by a part and putting another part in there pocket.with the decline of scrap parts for cars and the passing away of mr medler the yard shut.rumour has it he use to store all the cash in his house.the council ordered a clear up of the land on the grounds of environmental reasons,crews were working seven days a week for weeks on end.i often visit the woods here to photograph landscapes too.medlers family still run a brick company and there is a close in the village named after him.there is still quite a lot to see with a few old classics hid up.i always find something new.this time I spotted the tyre in the tree for the first time.this is from two visits.one earlier in the summer and one with the girlfriend who loves cars and mr bones and Maxine
