Well the holidays are over and we are back with that garage on Wilbraham Road.
It is a place I have been revisiting every so often courtesy of Andy Robertson’s pictures, and this one was taken just before Christmas.*
In the space of a few short weeks there has been lots of progress and Andy remarked that the “tanks are now in place. I assume they must be deeper than they are wide and we now know what that big hole was for.”
All very different from the old petrol stop that occupied the site in the 1960s and the even earlier cinema and variety theatre which stood here from the early 20th century.
