Locals will remember this as Hillside Garage, the garage/filling station owned and run by Les Morris. The pumps went first then after he retired it was taken on by an "Elvis" fan. Rumour has it that one night over a recent Christmas holiday a passing motorist called out the police because of "a drunken reveller playing a guitar on the roof".
