One of my favourite Old Garages was Weston's at March Marcle, which I managed for a couple of years in the early 'nineties. Opened in 1927 using a re-located First World War aircraft hanger, it had been run by Mr, and after his death, Mrs Probert for 64 years, during which very little had changed.
The impressive array of four 1938 Avery-Hardoll pumps had only just been disposed of when I started and I managed to buy two of them back from local farmers for £20 each and set them up (non-functioning) on their original plinth. I wish that I'd bought them myself, as they disappeared again very soon after my departure.
The 1931 Lagonda was - and still is - my brother's
The garage is still there, but no longer owned by Weston's Cider.
