Bencroft Wood

































One of the four woods that go to make up the larger reserve of Broxbourne Woods - YMGW passim - Bencroft Wood, Hertfordshire, is predominantly of hornbeam coppiced for many hundreds of years. This supplied the maltings of Hertford and Ware with fuel, and charcoal for the manufacture of gunpowder. The above truck find is likely beyond identification.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of truck left! :-)

Somebody is bound to be able to identify it from the configuration of the wheel nuts!
