Rothbury Garage
Image: © Rose and Trev Clough Taken: 23 Jun 2011
Built in 1913, when only rich people had motor cars, the building has changed little and is a rare example of an early garage (information from Heritage Explorer : http://www.heritage-explorer.co.uk/web/he/searchdetail.aspx?id=7446&crit=rothbury+garage ). For this reason it is a listed building. The front of the building, presumably once a motor showroom, is occupied by a carpet and bed shop.
