Hi , hopefully this week I should be buying a property that was part of an old Morris dealer and garage in Donington Lincolnshire. It was a garage from at least 1911 to probably early 70s.

The dealer was G Dawson and Sons on the HIgh Street.
I would have loved to have discovered the old signs in the rear garage but it was not to be.
If anybody has info regarding this property in the records somewhere, please let me know.
Thanks, Carl.

Great purchase, who knows what you might find hidden somewhere...
Back in the era of our early Minors, such Village/Town Streetside Fuel Pumps were a common sight. I believe the one in Wainfleet Lincs is still operational. heavens knows where their bulk tank is :o .
I wonder what you'll find :-?
