That is interesting Eric, I recall my Dad (who passed away 3 years ago at 93) telling me that Herbert started with a repair garage, on Great Hampton St, and then moved premises at some point slightly further down the road on the same side towards town. I only recall vaguely the garage, but like you with no petrol pumps and that would have been in the late 1950's. More photos may help! Agree with you how sad the old buildings are looking in such a state.
