I had an interesting chat with the current owners of this period garage that is still in use today, and still has a great olde-worlde charm about it. The current owner's grandfather set it up way way back in 1917 if I remember correctly, the black and white photograph shows him outside the garage when it was still quite new. Some great garage memorabilia in this old photo, eg for tin Dunlop signs, Wakefield Castrol motor oil, Pratts fuel, plus a hefty old oil cabinet. In a previous life the building had been used for a number of other trades, at one time being a mill. You can just picture vintage motor-cars pulling up outside this garage for a quick tune-up and a shot of Redex!
