A redundant grass cutter built by Henry Bamford & Sons of Uttoxeter. The UK workshop of Henry Bamford finally went into liquidation in 1987 having traded for 116 years, although they could still be operating in Eire and South Africa. The first Henry Bamford was the great grandfather of the more famous Joseph Cyril Bamford of Rocester (JCB), who created his own very successful business. The gulf of the disused Pistyll Gwyn quarry can be seen over the fence. (Thanks to Jonathan Kington for the corrected information.)
