Today whilst out and about for work purposes i was in Derbyshire on my way back to Sheffield from Ilkeston when i came to a large roundabout with a planked open wagon on it bearing the name Stanton.
I think the town may have been Heanor I know all about the Stanton company does anyone have details of the wagon, I am going that way tomorrow so i will attempt to get a picture to reproduce on this forum.
I will leave a note on the model forum as well.

The enclosed picture was taken from my van perhaps someone can do better. I think the roundabout may actually be in Ilkeston all the small towns in that part of the world just blend into each other

I wonder if this may be of some use, I found it on flickr.

It is also possible to see the wagon on Google Earth in the middle of a roundabout in Ilkeston.
