Flooded shop in Shropshire reveals old bike bits

Cool. Wonder if they have been contacted by the Rudge owners club?

Just seen this, I live about half a mile from that shop. It used to be Merediths in the 70s and early 80s, mainly Honda, Triumph and Norton dealers, then BMW later. I used to walk past on the way to school and oggle the last T160 and interstate! A fire hastened their demise, along with a very unpleasant parts man who (it turned out) was stealing stock from what was a family run business. Surprised at the age of some of that haul, I never saw anything older than sixties stuff in there, but then I only discovered it in 1970 or thereabouts. Maybe it was a hotbed of Rudges and New Imperials back in the day, I'd love to think so
