scrapyard

One from a few weeks back with @mookster on a little East Midlands excursion in my current 1998 Vauxhall Astra. Looms was a place I had visited on occasion in the past, though I don't recall ever actually buying anything from here, just browsed. The site was as you would expect a derp...

Grays Scrapyard This site has been well documented previously, but I thought it would be nice to stick a report up with images solely from my cheap point and shoot film camera with Ultramax 400. I am so happy with these pics, definitely going to continue using film where possible. Visited with...

This is my first report so help will be welcomed Finedon scrapyard is a disused scrapyard on the outskirts of Finedon (wellingbourgh) which shut down some time around the 1980's to 90's judging by some of the wrecks left. It was also home to a rental place called "rent a wreck or hire a heap)...

Gray's Yard, Norfolk. Waking up early one cold Sunday morning, I was in the mood to go and have a solo mooch around a nice local place. Grey's yard jumped out at me as it's within half an hour, and I've been wanting to go for ages. No history on Gray's Yard, I don't believe it was an actual...

Medler's Scrapyard in Hevingham, Norfolk It was owned by a man called Lenny Medler, and it closed down in 1989, after he died It used to be a pig farm, but it closed after someone died

This place is known by various names depending on who you speak to, on my return visit whilst rummaging around in one of the sheds I found a bunch of old business cards with the owner's details on it which gave the name of the business as simply 'Arthur's Scrapyard', so I guess if we're being...

Quick explore on the outskirts on Wellingborough. The whole area is being heavily developed so this will probably be gone soon, some cars have already been removed apparently. The range rovers that used to be here are gone but the jaguar is still there. On the way out an angry man who works at...

The History… Browns Service Centre specialised in car mechanics & MOT with an attached car sales room. In 2017, A deliberate blaze was started & the business had nine vehicles destroyed in the flames. Although no info can be found to when Browns closed its doors - the company has since stopped...

Visited with @Chloe Explores and Zoe On our visit to the Norfolk area we stopped off here for a mooch. From other posts on here a lot has been removed from the site but a huge area is still littered with car parts and other stuff. We couldn’t locate the yellow car and Chloe was the only one...

So this one I can’t confirm that it’s definitely unused as it has an entry way on a road. But I’ve been several times now and it’s never changed besides this one time I found the remains of a weed farm From trying to work out who it belongs to and anything about it all I’ve found it that it...

So this is a pretty interesting one, and though, sadly I wasn't able to get into the house/main building it still proved to be a really fascinating explore, full of unusual bits and trinkets in amidst the debris. I hadn't realised this until writing the report, but the house part of this site...

There are few other reports from this site on here, Medlers scrapyard used to house thousands of vehicles in its heyday, these were mostly cleared in the early 2000's it still holds some hidden gems. Lots of rumours about the owner stashing his cash in the woods rather than using banks. A nice...

Honey I'm hooooooooomeeeee! I've spent the last 19 days going on various jaunts around America so have been absent from the forum (love the new look in black btw). My first port of call was checking in with my good mate in Buffalo, New York for the first weekend and a trip we had planned for...
