This is the rear entrance ,onto Cross Street,of the building in the previous image.
This was their previous Garage on the corner of Cross Street & Oxford Street. Can you help us date this image please? Image kindly provided by Roy Broom.
The large window in the end wall of the garage used to be a Wheelwrights property. I believe Fred Lang’s (who worked at Wallbutton’s) father worked there.
I worked at Wallbutton’s Garage from July 1969 to March 1974 as an apprentice motor mechanic. Charlie Wallbutton’s daughter Nesta gave me the negatives to these pictures which I also have. I asked her if she could put names to the people and I recorded them. The top picture left to right are Stanley Down, Fred Chalkley, unknown in car, Nesta Wallbutton (age abt 4) and a Mr Wall. The phone number 93 changed to 2793, then 782793 which Burnham Motor Company used until it ceased trading on the 31 July 2003
