this scrapyard was a well known place in norfolk.with hundreds of people going here for parts over the years.the owner was known as aa real eccentric,but a very popular guy,with a close in the village named after him..he had cars dotted everywhere in woodland.he had some real old classics hid up which he would not part with for love or money.the rumour was he dealt always in cash and had it hid up all over the place in bundles..the scrapyard shut down,and most of the stuff was just left there.but with it becoming an eyesore the family had to clear it out several years ago.they said they were working for several weeks,twelve hours a day,seven days a week clearing out stuff.there was still loads left on my visits.but on my third visit i was shocked how little was left as it seems they are clearing up again.

I heard most all gone now :( sucks i never shifted my backside into gera, did you check out the little slaughterhouse? :)

There are still bits and bobs about..but not a lot..I went in all the buildings but did not realise it was a slaughter house
 
Very interesting site! I really love your pics - particularly the one of the bus (or campervan?) covered in undergrowth with a tree growing in front! Thanks for sharing - looks an exciting site to explore and a bit different - sorry to hear that its being cleared up.
 
Brilliant, perfect dereliction. Don't s'pose the bus from the Italian Job still has the gold in the back??
 
A really nice set of images. The photography is very artistic, there are some great images, I liked the 'wheels' transformed to monochrome.

I think this would be a great place to do a photo shoot with a model.

Your efforts have inspired me to get out a search for locations.
