91-year-old Jean Grey remembers living on the site in the 1930s when her father was Custodian of the Stones. 'Dad was the Custodian of the Stones. He cut the grass and maintained the area round the huge monoliths and made sure no one damaged them...'. Above are the Custodians houses and allsorts of street furniture.

Today - clutter removed but A303 considerably wider.

Nope, couldn't identify the diesel shunter at all. Doesn't look like any of classes 01 to 09.

A Class 37 approaches Darlington yard with a selection of Ford cars. Capri, Granada, Escorts & Fiestas.

I remember a news story around this time (82/84) about scrotes getting on these Ford trains and helping themselves to radios etc whilst they were travelling up the country. I think someone fell off and was killed, also the Police would hide in the cars to catch them.

Ahh, the good old days, when plod could wade in and sort out the knob heads without fear of some politically correct, up their own arse minority, thinking they're more entitled than normal people, whining like twats and going to court because "their human rights" have.been abused.

Rant over...

Mummy, where do baby Land Rovers come from?

Produced in 1978, the Laird Centaur was a half-track using parts from both the Land Rover and the Scorpion CVR(T). Laird proposed a number of variants, including Troop Carrier, Artillery Tractor, Anti-Air – fitted with a 20mm cannon – and even a Light APC variant. Ultimately, it failed to attract any buyers as most nations already had vehicles which could fulfil these roles. Half-tracks were also a dated concept, with wheeled vehicles just as capable in the same roles. Seven prototypes were built.
