Just to prove I'm not totally dead I thought I'd pop this one up.
I wasn't sure what to call this one so I ran the location through an online OS Map and it came up with the name 'The Haven' - there was a small house on this large plot of land so I guess that's what it might have been called. Anyway this was one of my chance finds whilst scouring Google Maps, and it turned out to be a fruitful wander and satisfied my need for car graveyards.
Bisbrooke is a small village located north of Corby and just east of Uppingham. Very nice it was too, on a lovely sunny spring day. Rolling up I wasn't sure what to expect, but heading up through the adjacent field peering through the boundary fence I started to see what I had hoped would be there hidden under the canopy of trees on Google's aerial imagery - cars. Once on the property itself we realised how exposed the rear half of the land was, on a hill overlooking farmers fields and from what we could tell, the land we were standing on was also utilised by the local farmer. We first checked on the small bungalow however it was tightly sealed, so set about working our way around the numerous vehicles dotting the land. I managed to find and photograph most of them however a couple were stubbornly buried much further into the undergrowth than I was willing to delve.
The property was sold in November last year and earlier this year all the cars were cleared from the site - I only know that because one of the people I know through banger racing on Facebook did the clearance!
Thanks for looking!
