Report - Airport crash tender graveyard - Chester, Cheshire - January 2023

[MK83]

They look cracking mate. The sierra never really appealed to me, I preferred the escort cosworth.

The escort cosworth was an awesome car too!

Gotta love a vehicle graveyard. Not up on my cars, but like to photograph them. Nice report

There's definitely something appealing about rotting car photography 😂

Nicely done, to be fair its took a long while for this one to appear on here so it deserves to be shown.

We were surprised it wasn't on here tbh.

Me too - Bet it was raced at Crewe?

I'd imagine so, back in the day depending how long it's been sat for!

I Know the couple who live here in the hall. They both worked on film sets hence the variety of things. She was a costume designer, not sure what Brian did other than collect vehicles which he did a pretty good job at. It is a shame the cars etc are in this condition but I suppose when you reach their age other things take priority.
Some good pics there MK83 btw. Fascinating place too..

Aah right so is the hall still occupied then? It was a very fascinating place, something a bit different than the usual abandonded buildings.

I'm their posty.
Went round the back on Saturday and looks like the police have been..
Been waiting on permission to go round the hall for a while. There's supposed to be a grand staircase in it.
The place is in poor condition and the council told them the roof needed attention. They bought a scaffolding company that went bust and put a load of scaffolding up. That was about 10 years ago, it's still up!

Hello there fellow postie! The police tape was there when we went, I'm not sure what's happened.

They have both gone into a home. A relative is dealing with the estate but if I speak to them about permission I'll let you know.. it'll be fascinating what's inside when you see around the barns. Solidarity brother ✊

Defianately a shale car. Crewe been gone a long time now and that roll cage design at the back looks more recent to me. You a fan/ex driver ?

Ex-Banger Driver, although I only raced from 89 until Crewe closed. Still friends with a lot of Banger lads.

If the elderly owners have gone into a home, I just hope this doesn't turn into the next 'Hoarder's House - Droitwich' which was raped and pillaged of all its cars.

Surprised A1 JSM - Is still registered to that car being such a short plate. Seems the car was last sold it 2004
