Stage 4 | north-herts-fm

We found out a little more history about the trailer after removing the cladding on one of the hatches. It was originally called "The Fruit Machine". And as the name suggests, was probably vending fruit. We also removed the entire floor and the rear dwarf door ready to be blocked up.

We took off the cladding on one of the side panels to try and make it a little lighter and easier to remove. Underneath was some rough sign-writing which gives a few more clues to this trailers history.	The floor was removed. It was rotten anyway and we wanted to make sure the underside had no surprises.

The floor was removed. It was rotten anyway and we wanted to make sure the underside had no surprises.	The back of the trailer sat in mud for many years. This is the mud we found after removing the floor. Almost as hard as iron, very dry and ancient looking.	We are having a full length door installed in the side of the unit so the little dwarf door is no longer needed. We removed it today ready for it to be blocked up.
