Hey all,

Its been a while since I've posted anything exploring up lately because I've been busy plumping up for Christmas.
A big thanks to Rez for finding such a great place packed with so much detail.:thumb
We did a couple of visits on this one because the 1st visit was cut short when we heard some dogs which sounded like they were loose.
Also just after one visit it seems that some chavs did get in and already broke some headlights on some of the trucks as I noticed the diffrence after in some of my pics.
Happy New Year,

Managed nearly 100 pics in the entire set!Not Bad for a heap of old metal:phttp://www.contaminationzone.com/Gallery65.php

what an excellent find, great photos, there's not many yards like this left unfortunately, i can remember one big one near Hitchin,Herts, wonder if its still there?
 
great shots payno
im going to have to put this on my list:)
i love this sort of stuff
 
Looks quite like my old front garden before we moved ! if that morris minors still registered i dread to think what that number plate would be worth .
 
Old knackered trucks are awesome. This place rocks, I would be happy at night there with a few gelled flashguns :)
 
The Morris Oxford still has this number on it, not licenced since 1982

SFH 2, the number on the Morris Minor, is currently on a Nissan Maxima dating from 2000, which is currently on a SORN.

Great work NP :)

Enjoyed perusing through these. How amazing is that Fire Engine?!! :huh:

Loving that last pic too.

Thanks very much for sharing.

Lb :jimlad:

P.s. -good to see ya back :)
 
Shame about the minors reg , i now have an age related number as some git sold my old one and its now on a merc.
I think out of all of that lot the vauxhall 14 would be coming home with me .
 
Had a few dealings with Rush Green Motors, the things in there are incredible, lorries from the '40s and 50's piled up high, acres of it. The owner is very unfriendly, and will not tolerate day trippers and sight see-ers under any circumstances, it's probably because of his attitude that the old stuff is still in there. Everything is for sale, but the prices are absolutely out of this world!!

thats the place! I remember when we used to go over there (about twenty years ago) he was a miserable sod then! he used to keep all the best stuff in the sheds,furthest from the road, i always felt sorry for the lads that worked for him, they were ok.
 
Oh i do like old trucks i'd love to go in there with my tools fresh batteries and some fuel to wot can be brought back to life.
Just looked at the other pics there's some great old wagons in there i've had a go in one of them old Fodens when i was an apprentice their a real drivers wagon no syncromech gear box all duble de clutching thats why the old drivers walked with a limp suffering from scammell knee, lots of gear changes and very heavy clutches oh and shite brakes!
