I'm the one who has to work for them :

As far as I remember much of the site is owned by Centaur who are trying to refurbish and let bits of it.
Don't know if the salvage guy owns or lets his area.
I know the fencing people had some plans for the little office block - but it would require a lot of money for not much space.

Centaur and barcley own the whole site

Killing it yet again.

That 928 is worth a few bob too!

The MOT ran out in 1999 but it last changed hands in 2002. Such a shame to see it rotting away in there.

The joys of owning a Grade 2 listed building, is that you have to jump through so many hoops to change or replace anything, which is one of the reasons why the whole complex looks like it is.
It is an absolute disgrace and an eyesore, escpecially as houses remain from the original village which is now a conservation area.
There are alot of "car repair / body repair" businesses in the many units on the site.
I'm sure one of the units was raided not long ago due to a stolen car operation!
Superb photos of the buildings and a great report

Once again Chemist, another report I’m glad has been bumped as I missed the premiere.

Despite being in rack and ruin, that still holds some lovely details! Lovely well lit photos, and a nice bit of history tying everything together! Loved the bottle finds (as I’m quite fond through my other hobby; bottle digging)

Never fail to amaze me with your reports; great job once again! ✌
