Former Petrol Station – West End Garage, School Lane, Buckingham, Buckinghamshire MK18 1HB 8
Just occasionally I find I had previously missed another great old garage in a certain town, this one in Buckingham had eluded me on all my previous visits. Just the one pump tucked into a little alcove remains, there may have been more in the past. The building is clearly quite old, and the premises unchanged in a very long time, it's really quite a throwback. The one in Well Street seems to get all the attention, now a restaurant called "The Garage" but this one I've never seen any mention of before, yet it still survives. If the frontage is a throwback, then inside it is laid out like the motorist's store of the 1980s. It is, I am sure, still a working garage and very highly regarded at that. The most recent reviews are from four months ago and suggest top notch service.
I'd love to see a photo or two of this place from much further back in time, even the earliest Streetview shows it looking like this.
