SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

I saw this while I was looking at the google maps website. It appears to be a field full of stuff all laid out in rows for no particular reason. I am sure that the items cant be permanently left like this as they would go rusty / get stolen etc. I wonder what was going on. If you want to have a look for yourself then find the marina on the Leeds to Liverpool canal at Rodley and scroll roughly north west a few drags of your mouse. I think the pictures on google maps are a few years old as I noticed my VW campervan is still parked outside my block of flats and I got rid of that years ago! Anyway I hope somebody has some suggestions as to what this arrangement of items in the field is cos I am very puzzled.[/URL]

Just looked, and to me it looks like lots of farm machinery and implements as most if not all have towing arms. Does seem strange where they are though and I wonder if they have been layed out in that field for inspection or to be sold.

Gypo's??

DOWN BOY DAMN! just when he's re-surfaced(literally lol)i don't think he realises how much we miss him on S/L when he goes on the missing list!on closer inspection it looks to me as though the contents of the sheds/garages have been laid out in the field.

It's not a car boot is it... is it??

If is at the farm on the ring road near priesthorpe lane it could be a gymkhana as they hold them there    

It does look like farm machines and stuff all laid out when you zoom into it. Maybe it was a sale or an auction of something. I'm tempted to knock on the farm door and ask them what it is all for...
