Have scoured Google Maps, have been to Hebden Bridge, but it's bigger than I'd hoped! The person that took the picture isn't replying to email. Anyone from Hebden Bridge??

Hi.. It's lying on a farm in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. It's some land shared between my friend and her neighbour, and I think it belonged to a previous tenant of the house next door. I'm not sure if it's still wanted or if the owner just abandoned it.
I can make some enquiries if you're interested. There's a Fox up there too.

The car is a PK Jimp, one of 67 made in the early 80s by PK Manufactring in Sandbach. I'd like to buy it and stick it in my lock up.

BT lists 50 (I suspect their max query result) farms in Hebden Bridge. Any other images?

Looks high up. Heptonstall? Above the town. Don't recognise the random field though - sorry!

I did go quite high and the colour of the land seemed right. I need to spend longer looking around the place I think, or team up with a local!

Found someone with a collection of rusty cars inther back yeard but would have to trespass to get a look, this was down by the canal tho

Looking at the shadows the bank runs east/west west/east ish.

BTW I have no idea where those pictures were taken. smile I've searched through the flickr pics but can't see anything relevant either.

Could try contacting the photographer on FB: www.facebook.com/boolong

Good luck.

Farm at the end of Delf lane near Peckets Well to the north of Hebden? Fields look same colour, a red van, lots of junk, a pick up - possible? google maps clearest, poor resolution on bing but the latter does maybe suggest a caravan....

No sign of the Jimp though?
