Any idea where that was, as that truck in the bottom of the pic was owned by the Foundry that used to be opposite the railway station just up the road from me until it shut about 15 years ago and is now a housing estate.

Yes, it was Doncaster. According to the description this scrapyard was located "at the York-Doncaster highroad":

Norway late 70s or early 80s. The big estate is a 1960 Plymouth it was on the road until 1982. There is no scrap notice on it so may still be alive in a barn somewhere.

Could be a A90 Westminster and it might be a A40/A50 Cambridge. All 3 look very similar.

I get a feeling we have had this one.

Some bridges these days could do with some bells like this, I've also seen chains used as a gauge.

May I ask if you know where this was taken? The railway bridge has been widened at some stage, as one can see the inner arched bridge and the newer girder one in front of it. The very pretty little Fiat 500 has a London number, but that doesn't mean too much!

Not really, unfortunately. The location is only described as "England", which isn't very helpful...

Blackwall Tunnel. Inside they have metal tubes dangling from chains as well.
