Went down today out of curiosity, I live nearby.
Couldn't see anything but that dent and damage to paintwork, no evidence of a crash which was my first thought re abandonment.
Guessing realistically if it was salvaged at this point you'd be looking at frame, headset shell, cranks/chainring, seat/seatpost.
Maybe the wheels with a rebuild, would not trust those spoke or nipples. New bearings and nuts for the hubs, new tape and tubs.
The stem wedge is probably rusted solid inside the metal fork. Structurally I wouldn't go near that or the handlebars which are pitted.
Chain was so rusted I couldn't make out the brand, be surprised if the bb turned.
Quality summer build once upon a time, upsetting to see it languishing between Halfords and Decathalon bikes.
Took a bunch of photos to sate appetites on here but nothing that could give away location.
Not advocating people get down there with the angle-grinder or crank extractor but the owner should reclaim or release it. Only housing spiders currently.
