08803 is surrounded by scrap in this view of the Beckett Street scrapyard at Oxford on 29 October 1982. A Volkswagen Beetle, a Mini and a 1960s Mercedes are complete enough to be recognisable amid the piles of rusting metal. The building in the background on the extreme right is the Royal Mail sorting office, which has subsequently been demolished and replaced by flats. Royal Mail didn't move very far, just a few yards around the corner in Osney Lane. |
