Report - Car Breakers Yard, Wellingborough September 2021

Thanks to Mikey for helping with this.
Went to Northampton to watch a fairly decent figure of 8 caravan banger demolition derby and thought it would be nice to see some off limits bangers quite nearby.
Very overgrown and peaceful 1 hour wander.
No history obvious

Glad you made it and happy to help. It's a nice wander but a bit overgrown. You got a great set of snaps

Amazed this lot is still here tbh! Last I heard things were being cleared out from it.

Absolutely no evidence of recent access to the site.
Seems a common thing, people saying places are being cleared out or have been demolished when they are not. I wonder what the psychology is there.

Some vehicles have definitely been cleared out of here!
The mk1 transit under the half collapsed garage for starters, though I have no idea how they got that out other than in pieces.
Trapped between 2 development sites now it certain ly will all b gone before long

I love bone yards like this. Some great reminders of how these vehicles decay if left. Really nice set too. Nice to see again

I was going to say that Transit and I believe the stuff in the corner (the collapsed Cortina, Mk.1 Chevette etc) have all gone.

Has the hidden Mk.1 Escort estate gone too? I don't think anyone managed to spot this one except for myself!

Red escort estate is still there

If the Chevette in question is the yellow sporty one then it's still there too!

I took a photo of pretty much every car that is left there and they are on my webpage. I confess I am no expert with the models!

That red one or the mk1 escorts in far left corner, yes photographed em both it's only down the road but I haven't been for a year or so, I'll pop in again & report back as soon as I can
