This vehicle was previously believed to have been registered in Bradford, however, research carried out on 05 May 2023 revealed that it was in fact registered in Sheffield.

Hi Philip,
The house is still standing, divided into two large apartments.
It is at the top of Harper Lane just off to the right, sort of opposite Morrisons car park.
