I'd love to restore that fire engine
I actually discovered this site in 2005 and took some photographs at the time, however my brother, who is a vastly better photographer than i am has since been back and taken these much improved shots. It is a cluster of old farm buildings located on the North Hertforshire border in a fairly remote location surrounded by fields. The site alone was worthy of some snaps; yet i think you will agree the jewel in the crown was the discovery of an old fire engine from the early part of last century stored in one of the outbuildings. What on earth it was doing there i have no idea. As you can see the fire engine was originally from Dudley in the West Midlands. My brother has since tried to contact Dudley Fire Station via email to try to find some history on it although to no avail. I have done some very brief research and it looks very similar to an old Leyland 'Hippo' Fire Engine from the 1930's.
All areas of the buildings were explored including the upstairs loft.
