I had this place pinned for ages, but didn't actually realise it was this fairly well known spot until I got there, which was both good and disappointing - good because I knew it was a doable thing and bad because it wasn't some previously undiscovered place like I had hoped.
The property consists of a sizeable detached house which, despite the door flapping in the wind I didn't bother doing because it's full of junk and trash and houses are junk and trash, and a big plot of land filled with a mix of both cars, trucks and perhaps most impressive of all a large crane scattered around as well as a large garage type outbuilding. I've seen a lot of people on Facebook post the shot of the outside of the house with the Bedford TK before but nobody ever seems to really dig around here to see what other stuff is there beyond the well trodden paths. Well as @CookieRaider can attest I was like a rat up a drainpipe here, clambering over stuff and squeezing through stuff and crawling under things to get to the stuff buried deep in the undergrowth, because if you're going to do something you do it properly to find the things everyone else has missed.
As an aside it's one of those places I have struggled to find any information on at all, it's not named on any OS maps of the area, there was a name of a gentleman on some paperwork but I didn't get any photos of it for forgetful reasons. Apparently the owner still checks up on the place from time to time as the house used to be secure but it didn't seem like he'd been there for a while.
All photos were shot handheld because I was feeling lazy.
A Mk.IV/V Ford Cortina estate which is literally dissolving into the ground, I've seen a few rough Tinas before but this one is probably the worst.
Somewhere under this mass of undergrowth is a Datsun Cherry, one of the examples built during the crossover Nissan/Datsun period.
Thanks for looking
