I found this on the Internet: The Medler family are huge around this area. The elder, Lenny Medler made a living operating a large scrap metal and breakers yard from the back of his property. When he died in 1989, the yard was taken over by his wife, however it fell into disrepair, and soon nature started claiming it back.
The large "main" yard has long been cleared out, but Lenny had a habit of placing scrap wherever he could find room. A known eccentric, and classic "Norfolk man", he refused pay for a real office or outbuildings, fences and the like, he simply built them himself from scrap metal. He even refused to use banks, instead trusting his money to a makeshift safe (made from a wardrobe) in one of his outbuildings,
To this day, there's acres of scrap, including complete cars and trucks dating back to the fifties, just lying around the woodland. when the first time you stumble upon this place, as it really has the hick, hillbilly feel. The clanking hubcaps strung up in the trees, misspelled homemade signs, shots firing from the gun range near by. but a great place to explore :)
