The Welsh Old Iron?? - Permission [December 2013]

[Timster1973]

Evening all,

Called Welsh Old Iron in homage to it's Belgian cousin

Out for sunrise a few weeks back and decided to call in on a localish scrapyard that is normally filled to the brim with old trucks and cars just to see if they had anything else in. Talking with the owner, the council had clamped down on scrapyard emissions and the proportion of grass and concrete that some of the vehicles had to be on. Rather than fighting it, they had sold a lot of their stock off to Africa as usual and not sourced anything old so they were still doing a nice trade in parts but not so many vehicles were left.

We had a few hours wander here in the sheds - well rather warehouses which was worth it in the end.

More to come on Flickr in time.

Cheers for looking in.

I've only ever seen one other Leyland Redline Mobile Library like that before and that was on the race track about 10 years ago. That and the graffiti by Best are awesome.

That Bedford Library transporter is worth a fair bit from what my contact tells me. Those Moto X bike type convert them into travelling sleepers.

The Yellow vans look like early Mk2 Ford Transits Or Freight Rover Sherpa/200 specially converted for GPO/BT use.
