A local mower shop often throws out piles of old mowers into a skip to be taken to the metal recyclers. Sticking out the top of one skip I could not help noticing an old Victa 18 base and handlebars! Many of the other engine blocks and parts would have come off mowers as far back as the 1950s.
Perhaps it is true what they say, "One man's trash is another man's treasure".
