Off topic: It was a P6, but yes. Sadly the car was scrapped a long time ago. I am still going though! Which member of the Stead Circus were you?
On topic: Yes, we have just been working on a forge, and part of our archaeological recording was to make a record of the forge in use before it closed - before going on to excavate the various phases of forging which preceded it. There has been a lot of work done in the field of 'comtemporary archaeology' on things like shopping centres and motorway service stations - good to see that this is now emerging from the dusty corners of academia and into mainstream development control practice. That's what it should be all about.
