Since getting involved in Geograph I've noticed that there are certain corners of the country where things linger on, long after they've disappeared elsewhere: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2150981 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2193850 Iron Wharf is exactly that kind of place, so perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised when this old Dormobile rolled up - the first I'd seen in donkeys' ages, probably 20 years. The owner, who lives locally, told me she'd kept the original sign-writing as it seemed part of the van's character. It's good to see a 1950's vehicle still in daily use - not kept as a museum-piece.
