This small garage was listed in local directories from 1934, the owner being given as C. T. W. Penn, in the 1940s. By 1948, Frank Smith had become the owner, with Mrs J. Smith given in 1956 (perhaps his widow?). By 1962, it was run by “Black & White Service Station Ltd.” It was re-built in 2005/6 but then. later, closed.
Early image of Black & White Service Station. Note the neat garden areas and obvious pride in the appearance of the site. The owner’s bungalow can be seen on the left.
Similar view in the 1980s showing the extended workshop and canopy over the pumps.
