The Triumph Herald: now there was a car!
The classic British motor is seen here in a photo of Coalport High Street which Paul France, who loaned it to us, thinks was taken in the late 1960s.
Hidden behind the trees on the left is Nuway Manufacturing Company Ltd.
Paul said: “The yard was used to store thousands of used truck tyres which the company reprocessed to manufacture a huge range of rubber link matting.
The premises were previously the home of the Coalport China Company who moved to Stoke-on-Trent in 1927. Nuway moved in and occupied the site until the early 1990s when they moved to the Halesfield industrial estate.”

I organised the 2008 PistonHeads Shropshire Run, and most of the route looked just like that.
