Looks like a JCB Mk11 3C behind the Scania. The JCB would have been around 20 years old when the Truck was first on the road?

My thoughts too, perhaps a preserved classic? Gordon Gilder appears to be a reasonable sized haulier, I have seen quite a few of their trucks around.

Yes that crossed my mind too; a very large hole to be near houses. :think:

Godstone perhaps?

The last picture looks odd. The JCB looks to modern for the rest of the scene with a D reg Cavalier SRI parked in true Vauxhall style - half way across the pavement.

Could be the early ,90s with a 10 year old car?
I thought the guy leaning on the shovel had very short legs before I put on my specs!
