Thought I'd do the honours here as nobody else seems to have for some reason, despite the place being derelict for almost 30 years.
It use to be a garage, then in the 70s part of it was used as an indoor market for a while and has been unused ever since. There don't seem to be any original photos despite searching for an age I'm afraid, and information on the garage and market are also very hard to find. Would love to have been able to add a bit more info so if anybody knows this place please share
The building suffered a massive fire in 2008. Unfortunately, this means most of the woodwork has gone but the bonus is that does leave the rather breathtaking skeleton. I think it's breathtaking anyway, but it's my first non residential explore so you may not be so impressed as I... anyway... the way that nature softens the angles just adds to the beauty I think
The building is to be demolished (but that's been being said for years) and until a someone comes up with a better idea, it will be a car park for 5 years to provide extra parking space for the town. It has been described by its owner, a property management company, as Axminster's “most dominant, prominent and harmful wart”. I just love that. Tis a most beauteous wart, in my opinion

....which totally tidies up the entire frontage, apparently.

I found this picture on a website called 'pastremains' which has some beautiful photographs. Just to show the lovely little curved shops either side of the front doors which are now boarded up. Many thanks to this local lady
