Mercian on the move

[PH]

Passed by Mercian's workshop shed earlier and was surprised to see a for sale board up, thought the worst, but a quick google and it seems they're moving to larger premises a few miles away on the outskirts of Derby. The workshop has been overcrowded since the close of the shop some years ago, so it sounds like a good move. I shall miss passing by, it's always amused my that such an iconic brand is based in a little brick shed on an industrial estate round the corner from where I live. They've been in that workshop since 1965 and always in this area of Derby, so it is a break with history, though under their new ownership things have moved on, including several new models.
Wishing them all the best.
