I know quite a lot about this site! Before and after it was a farm!
During WW2 there was no farm here! There was a street of farm houses, only about four or five of them. Sadly some time during the war one of the Fighter planes crashed into the houses and left them all in flames. The crash only killed two people, the pilot and a local postman.

Soon after the crash the houses were demolished and turned into a haybale storage place. That wasn't there for too long because nothing after that it was used to store farm equipment and farm vehicles! Soon later the technology was out dated and left there to decay!

Hope you enjoy the pics! ;)

Hope you all enjoyed viewing the pics! Taking some more later this week! :)
 
Thanks! Yeah the building in the backgroud is pretty cool! I remember seeing you on the way there one time. Did you take any pictures that day?

Yeah, I've visited a couple of times. I just haven't got round to doing a report yet.

Yes, Uplands was one of the first places I visited. It's a cool place - definitely worth a visit :)
 
Interesting pieces of machinery there. See if I can help on one or two items. Picture 2: I think was used for rolling the earth flat and then cut a channel for seedlings. Picture 5: The name Charles Alexander was a bus company in Scotland and this would have been used to rescue any bus that had run out of fuel. Stagecoach bought the company.
 
Wow! Picture number 5 has quite a story behind it I guess! I guess we'll never know its story. :(
Thanks for the information anyway! ;)
 
Hi, pic 2 is a stack of weights, that is used on the front of a tractor as a counter weight when plowing....

hope this helps
 
Ring roller, harrow, plough and liquid slurry spreader. All for the preparation of arable fields.

Alexanders had a road transport division that delivered amongst other things fuel oils and petrol to garages etc.. Tanker body 239T came off one of their original eight wheeler delivery vehicles - it has subsequently been altered to hold agri chemicals for spraying, and mounted on an old semi trailer and dolly unit. Pic 2 is as has already been mentioned a stack of weights - probably modified to fit in a different position on another make of tractor than the one they were designed for. The family farm has a number of similar weights that are meant to fit onto the drive wheel hubs of tractors to increase adhesion - the front end balance weights on these two tractors just slot over a heavy bracket and are retained by a large 'pin'.
