History.. Before the scrapyard the land was used as a pig farm and slaughter house. Doing some research I found a story about a fatality on the site which claimed the life of a young man within the medlar family. When a tipper lorry delivering pig feed to a shed hit a power line, it sadly fell and electrocuted him. (The story was told by an old boy who walks his dog round the old yard).

A scrapyard was started and owned by Lenny Medler before closing down soon after his death in 1989 after being taken over by his wife. Nature has then been reclaiming it ever since.

As scrap metal prices have fluctuated the council have been clearing the land slowly and during a surge in scrap metal prices in 2007 much of the scrapyard was cleared.
