Is the incomplete sentence an error or is it acceptable? Are there any errors?
Many thanks.
The incomplete sentence is acceptable in informal English. It sounds fine in the paragraph you've provided.
There is an error: I was told a few months ago that there
they was a junkyard along the road leading to the highway.
Delete the "they."
In that paragraph, I would use a colon after "junkyard", instead of a full stop. The reason for that is, it links to the reason/explanation in the next sentence.
But it's not necessary, it's okay as it is.
