Lloyd's Classic Auto parts, no idea if the trade is good, but the classic cars that are here are at least worth a visit. The large rear area, which unfortunately cannot be seen well from the road, is completely full, but there are also some beautiful old ones at the front!

This toilet block was in use from 1959 to 2018. In 2018 'Northern Health' thought it was nice and had to be closed. Nowadays only the squirrels still use this toilet.
