A grocers van which originated in Robertsbridge and dates back to the 1930s was recommissioned and driven to the village this week.

The 1934 Morris Grocers Van has spent the past 20 years sitting in a motor museum deteriorating.

However, having been purchased by a collector in the West Country, Peter Russell, from Horsham in West Sussex, was asked to recommission the period interior with a myriad of old shop and grocers artefacts.
