Similar thing near me this year someone has cleared out some bushes in a quiet corner of our local park and put up a fence, made a little yard, a garden shed, a fire place-place to cook they even put a water butt on the nearby building for water and painted on the side of that building "stop snitching" they probably bathe and toilet in the stream.
A creative use for a sliver of land. The chipboard structure suggested permanence, which probably drew official attention. It looks like a Duple bodied Bedford, possibly a Dominant but I'm not a bus expert.
Love the local content! I live in Colliers wood and used to drive past that coach everyday to work. I always assumed it was a family living there but never saw any occupants.
Remember seeing it parked there for years, I always assumed someone was living in it? It would be interesting to find out what happened to it/him/them?
I did this my self with a train of wheeled units.

@@TheSwampyization thanks for taking the time to tell your story and thoughts. Perhaps you should make a RUclips channel. It could be as straightforward as filming a scene and saying what's on your mind.
I worked on that estate and that coach was there from the late 1990s.i remember seeing a lady who lived there who had long brown hair,i see open the back emergency door once and inside was dark wood panel ing.looked quite snug in there with the wood stove burning in winter. 0:13
@@mitchamnotesI always thought they were squatting there no one bothered them.the coach used to move once a year for its MOT I presume in the early days but over the years it slowly sunk into the mud.
You would be surprised about how some councils operate and take unusual actions to speed up a process. My local council set fire to empty garages to speed up a building project.
Over the years, here in Portsmouth, several derelict pubs have suffered from ''unexplained'' fires, usually when the council want to build a block of flats on the land!!
One things for sure - he wouldn't have been there when the BOC Factory caught fire. Seem to remember it was BOC's Special Gases division at one time. Sleepeze's Factory used to be just up the road from there (may still be - not been in the area for years).
About the same time a bloke lived in a coach just outside Petworth on the A272. I remembering him manage to stay there for a good five years. Don't know how he got away with it. Another small family of squaters i knew in that area were never moved on because they were so freindly the neighbours never complained to the council and when they were finaly being evicted their neighbours complained so much a loop hole was found for them to stay! Of course this was in the posh end of West Sussex and one of the neighbours was a former High Sheriff. Lol. It's still who you know.
I seem to remember it there in late 1989 when i first passed my driving test, but could have been early 1990s. Used ro remind me of coach from Italian Job, but onviously not as big. You can see it had sat there for some years by the 2008 street view pictures.
I have lived in the area for years and no one was living in the bus it was actually a BOCs football team bus and the wooden structure was their changing room ! Surprised they couldn't afford something better as they are a bunch of robbing toe rags the prices they charge !! 😜

After watching Clarkson's Farm I am surprised this is allowed and that the whole country isn't rising up against your representatives.

@@paulsmith3452 thanks. The land might've been bought off BR and not due to tramlink then.

Well, they still haven't fixed the roads over the last 10 years... so, they probably just didn't get around to harrassing whoever it was?

We had our own guy living in a Mercedes by the River Tay on A9
Check land registry to see who owned it. Might give you some more clues.
@@draisine1609 I mentioned the land registry being accessed in the video.

Really interesting channel 👍
Quite a cool numberplate!
He died they buried him there, the concrete blocks are his headstone.
It looks like he was kicked off when he started building on the land and taking over it i think that was the last straw looking at them pics
The last of the crusty travellers
They are still out there I live on a farm and a bloke lives in the same model of bus(Bedford duple) here 😊
@@DaleArnold-u3hClassy! Good on em!
❤ ✌️ 🕊
They are still about in the west country.
Good to hear they are still about
@@DaleArnold-u3h If they are out of the way & not causing any trouble, just leave them to get on with lives!
If he was the manager of BOC, he had great sleeping quarters. Many, many thanks ❤👏👍
