When the Highways Agency replaced their Fodens with new MAN’s, the Fodens all went to Geesons scrapyard near Ripley in Derbyshire. Have a look at the link below but if you like Fodens, it,s a sad sight.

We have had gritters going through our village today Mike,but to far away for pics.We have about two inches of snow.I would think you probably have more up your way being further north.
Cheers Dave.
