I remember Lloyds Garage it was almost opposite the Black Horse pub, but I have no information on the owner, I think at some time John Houghton posted a photo, have you tried the search facility? it might be still on the site although we lost a lot of pictures when we were hacked a few weeks ago.

My wife lived at lloyds garage in 50's and 60's. Alf Lloyd was her grandfather. She lived there when tony iomi and Ozzie Osborne used to bring their van for alf to keep on the road. He did it free of charge! Will investigate more and post later. Reg mills
