sue B 48 1,226 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Those wagons would be worth a small fortune now for glamping. I know most of us are getting on a bit on this site but wouldn't that be a long memory even for us. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,728 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 I remember them being at Moorbridge when I was a kid. Not the modern 'Traveller' site, but nearer the bridge. If you are heading towards Nottm over the bridge, there is a bit of iron railing just after where the stonework stops. There used to be a Trent Bus stop there way back. I recall looking down through those railings and seeing one or two small vans and a couple of ponies parked up on grass just below. They used to come around selling clothes pegs made from cut wood bound with bits of recycled steel can. Also Chrysanthemum type artificial flowers made of shaved wood and dyed bright colours.

Don't know what went wrong but I pressed "Submit" and the screen went blue/grey and stayed that way for about that length of time before the post appeared. It only appeared once on my screen though.
