The "Richards of Newport" Living van is fairly rare for a Contractors Living van.
Richards of Newport were a very large road making/ contacting Company in the early 1930's.
They were brought out by Eddison and all of their plant was recalled to the Richards Yard at Newport for a stock check. There was a huge fire that destroyed 95% of the contents of the yard and basically the only survivors were those that were still returning to the yard. This Van is one of the lucky escapees.
Layout:-
The van's interior is very original, although we have added a modern fire/range and built a replacement bench and table, Apart from that you are living as road Contractors would, including open fire outside and a lit stove inside.
We have additional modern facilities on site including wash room and toilets for your convenience.
The van is very cosy, I stay in it when I go to some steam rallies. it can be arranged as a 3 person unit with double bed plus a single mattress on the floor or variety thereof.
It is available for rent including the first basket of fuel.
Come and try it out, I think you will be surprised by its comfort.
