hey folks, dont be put off by it being a showmans place, just ask and as long as you are polite i cant see why you wouldnt get a guided tour of the yard and i bet there is a lot of interesting stories to go with the equipment, i personally know some of the danter family and they are nice likeable people.

Nice photos, thanks.
And you sparked me on a research trip...Or more, general Google browsing, found some interesting stuff.

An article at Hereford Newsshows Henry Danter and fraud.
And a fotopic page of Symonds Yat & Yard Henry Danter in May 2008.
And also, look a little deeper, you get this: http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:KLrySKUuFJgJ:www.wyreforest.gov.uk/council/docs/doc39678_20090210_planning_and_dev_cont_report.pdf+henry+danter+winter+yard&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk he sent for planning early this year, on Riverside Amusement Park, of DY13 8UY. Google Maps Link.


Just some things I thought were interesting, thanks,
Tom.

Referring to the "fraud" case Henry was supposed to be involved in, How sickening is it that someone can be ruined in business just because he didn't pay the greedy government enough tax, when the government themselves are the most fraudulent, wasteful and dishonest crooks you'll ever come across... Nothing is ever done to prosecute them though is it?

Just another case of bullying the hardworking Brit and rewarding the lazy scum that don't bother to work...

Good pics though, nice one!!
