This row of garages was built in 1940 when the AFS HQ was moved to Insole Court from the city centre. Their purpose was to house the fire engines used during the bombings of the 1939-45 war. Whilst historic in their own right, their lack of elegance somewhat mars the front of Insole Court, an interesting Victorian Gothic house. See Image, and visit http://www.insolecourt.org.uk to find out more about the house.
