Strange this I cant seem to find this reported anywhere & its right on a main road and turns out to be quite a nice place.
No explore planned, I was on my way home from Busfest yesterday & slammed my brakes on seeing this. My lad wanted to stay in the van & we were on a deadline so it really was a rush explore,so not the best pics. (sorry I got camera on sepia a bit too much but didn't have time to keep changing settings lol)
This was obviously a garage & mot centre attached to a house. Not sure when exactly it fell out of use but the pump is reading 88.9 per/L so we can all have a guess at that one.
I liked the house, its well trashed but surprisingly a few bits remain in tack. Its got a lot of quirky different level & hidden rooms which was pretty cool.
Slightly freaky was a dead rat which looked like it had half its head chopped off!

Interesting report and photographs. I did a company check on the name and all I found was a car dealership in Rugby. But maybe a relative of theirs started a business here and maybe he passed on. A pity you couldn't take any more shots.

I did the same but couldn't find much. That's pretty much all the pics I got in a 10min visit. Am sure someone will be along with a more conclusive report soon :)
 
Yep sounds about right, surprised no one has bought it & turned it into one of those fancy antique shops or something!
 
Great shots BG:congratulatory: I rather like this place!

I was here in the summer and did a little research and like you couldn't come up with much info, well none to be exact haha. I had a revisit as I too didn't have much time, and the owner drove by. He asked me to leave for insurance purposes, fair enough, he then asked me if I wanted to buy the pumps:congratulatory: I prefer the lovely old skinny Shell ones, plus Id have nowhere to put them!
 
Yeah I wouldn't say they are a desirable type, but who knows they may b in a few years!
I stumbled on another very similar place to this on an xmas day bike ride out near MK, may do a post but only have phone pics!
 
That's a lovely little place mate.lots of character to it
