Garages around Ringwood Hampshire - Biddlecombe - 01-12-2018

I was told that it is a Renault Torpedo in the last pic.

Certainly a Renault, but not a torpedo - that would be an open tourer, whereas this is a saloon.

Love the thatched pumps.
With the choice of different petrol, PRATTS shell, national benzoyl, redline.
It looks more like the local pub, with ringwood ales lined up along it.

The Redex can brings back memories. "Would you like shots with your petrol sir"

I beleive the sign over the garage in picture 1, is this one.
Could even be the actual sign.

The thatched gas pump roofs reminds of Daleks! All very interesting.

Picture 4 is a cracker. A leather bellows showing at the RHS for forge work and the knop of a leg-vice too.

Hi Duncan,
Picture 4 is a strange one for me.
It looks to be mainly a bicycle repair and perhaps small manufacturer shop.
The chap on the right has a bicycle frame.
The lad in the middle is showing they can spoke and adjust wheels.
All the advertising around the shop is bicycle.
There may be a parcial wheel for a flat tank motorcycle to the left, fine for a cycle repair shop.
A couple of petrol cans and motorcycle battery's scattered around.
The round bar on the shelf even looks like bicycle / motorcycle frame tube.
Not a workshop I would expect to see what looks like a white's steam car to be worked on?
Tony.
