On St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly, at a place called Tolman point

there is an area on the beach where all the scrap from the island was put, probably up to the 1950's., when disposal to the mainland became practical.

The iron and steel have fused together to become a hard conglomerate, it is, however possible to recognise some more robust items including engine blocks, differentials, cast iron tractor wheels and much more.

This find was made by agricultural manufacturers, Harrison and McGregor of Leigh, England under the brand, Albion, this machine is clearly number 12, it is possible to find photo's of Albion products, on line but not this one.
