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 to brave the nettles and explore the house. The coach is amazing.

no problems visiting, a public footpath runs through. Just a very hot day for exploring so quite exhausting. Thought I’d share as I don’t usually post such things so something a little different.

History -

The Medler family are well known in the Norfolk area. The elder, Lenny Medler, made a living operating a large scrap metal and breakers yard from the back of his property. When he died in 1989 the yard was taken over by his wife. However it fell into disrepair, and soon nature started claiming it back.

There still remain acres of scrap, including buses, cars and trucks dating back to the fifties, dotted haphazardly throughout the woodland.

Local legend has it that Lenny used to hide suitcases of money around his yard.

Before the scrapyard the land it is based on was a pig farm and slaughter house which caused the death of a young man within the medlar family when a tipper lorry delivering pig feed to a shed hit a power line and electrocuted him.
