Seemingly abandoned in the Shropshire countryside is a sizeable collection of more than 70 lorries, all of which appear to have been sitting in the same position for many years. The nature of the way the collection is arranged, for example cabs stacked upon flatbeds, suggest that it's an exporter's yard and the vehicles within were once awaiting shipment abroad. However, the reason they 'survived' exportation and were instead left to rot in this wooded area is unclear. A minute further down the road is another section of land used for the storage of lorries awaiting export, which is clearly still active, unlike the area where this 1999 ERF EC11 is parked. The vehicle has unfortunately suffered some damage to the windscreen from a fallen tree branch, but otherwise looks to be in decent condition.

*I have decided not to 'geotag' this photo or reveal the location where it was taken, as the large collection is not protected by CCTV and doesn't need thieves stealing parts or vandalising the lorries.

The vehicle was not displaying any licence plates and is possibly not even registered with the DVLA as it was also missing a tax disc; a feature that virtually every other lorry in the yard had.

'B6AHD' returns results for a 2019 Volvo when searched on the DVLA's database, therefore some details of this lorry, such as its age, are not known. The vehicle is one of five ES models in the property; a rare model which uses a cab designed by the Austrian truck manufacturer Steyr.

Unfortunately I overlooked the fact that the vehicle is not displaying a front number plate and therefore neglected to take a photo of the rear registration, so this DAF's identity is not known.
