Like many farms, Baldwins in south Essex is reached by winding lanes and surrounded by green fields.

But the similarities end there.

Tucked away in an area of green belt just inside the M25, Baldwins Farm consists of a small cluster of bungalows surrounded by a sprawling, ramshackle industrial estate covered in shipping containers and the skeletons of old cars mined for scrap.

While it's not the sort of place folk would venture unless they needed to, this strange spot - and what happens there - has long been a subject of whispered conversations among locals.

Baldwins Farm has now attracted wider attention after a documentary that aired recently on national TV placed the site right at the centre of an international car smuggling ring.
