The rear of West Block, a place I spent several happy years! Services Block is on the left and behind the grey concertina doors are the garage and washbay. On the right are where the pool cars were parked, six silver Ford C-Max HX04 WDA-WDG was the reg I think!
The orange forklift truck can be seen under the filling station style canopy (I am not sure why that was built, it was not part of the original plans). I used to drive that around the site, great fun.
In front of that is a white Peugeot 205 (I think), one of two electric pool cars – well ahead of their time! These could only as far as Winchester and back though, such was the battery technology of the early 2000s so their usage was limited to people doing local runs.
