Back of an old peoples home in Burnley…
Thats got to be the weirdest place for a trailer to be left
Tried a search and couldnt find a thread about trailers final resting places.
Most seem to end up on farms as storage, or taken of the chassis to be used as stables or kennels (yes Ive seen both)
Anyone got any photos of strange places or uses that old trailers get.
Heres a couple to start off…
looks to me to be an old Budgens trailer but on the side is French of Chichester Food Shop.
Its final resting place ■■ just north of Shrewsbury
Current use …shelter from weather during Game/clay pigeon shoots
Dont know its age the plate is missing
Nice one toowise this could turn into a good thread, must be loads of them about.
looking at your location altitude you might be able to shed some light on this trailers origin. Is there still a French of Chichester food shop ■■
I’m on farms most days so I’ll get a few more photos along with as much info as I can
most end up at the side of the motorway with adverts on them … usually blown over in the wind …

Drawn a blank on this so far toowise, there is a French of Chichester but it’s nothing to do with food, people I know here say they don’t know of any food shops called French. The only food firm around the area called French is in Portsmouth Harbour.

There is a Mr. French on Chichester Council, now retired, maybe he would have some clues for you.
Another company who are seen in farmyards, stables and haulage companies throughout the north of England are Atlas Express boxes or old railway containers with the sliding doors.
Good thread.
The unsung hero’s of the haulage industry usually treated like crap then forgotten about.
Trailers must out number tractor units at least 3 to 1. Apart from the odd farm use they seem to just vanish… 
Tonnes of old ones on here
Check this place out on google earth. Its quite a sight just the amount of tackle

That sites ace ! Nothing older than 1998 on there, mostly 50’s,60’s and 70’s trucks.
I presume there for sale.
There was a Foden Mickey Mouse on there that has been buried for donkeys years, loved to see how they get it out.

Must be the biggest commercial grave yard in the country if not the world 
Not sure if they trade mainly in new(er) stock and the old stuff is just old stock never sold?
They’d make thousands if they had a open day!!
