Default A Penguins Play Pen

I have a Play Pen where I have a bit of fun with photographs, just as engine owners do at some rallies. These are some of the results from 2011. You will understand why they are all of an emphasis on Foden. If you look at images 2 and 3 you will see a 'before and after'.

No. It's the Old Hall in Sandbach. I put a thread on here recently about the refurbishment of that place and how I had managed to get some photo's and drawings of Foden products on the walls. It's worth a visit.
