Scrappy

Just to prove it's not all historic and attractive around here... Right in the centre of Shipley, next to the railway station, there's a scrapyard. In actual fact, you might not really notice it's there unless you arrived by train. The railway runs beside it but the road is at a higher level and a wall around the yard means it isn't all that obvious to passers-by. That is a good job really, as it is a bit of a jumbly mess. With the lockdown, the yard didn't seem to be open and working when I went past. The machines and lorries were idle. It's a huge site, extending at least as far again under and beyond the road bridge you can just see in the distance, on my photo below.

I think there is scope for some interesting photos if you could actually get down near the skips. If I'd had my big camera I might have been able to zoom in to pick out some detail, even from up above on the road bridge. I only had my phone though and it doesn't do a good job of zooming in. The area all looks rather messy but in fact the scrap was mostly sorted into different skips. There was one entirely full of wheels, of many different styles. I hope they get recycled.
