This group of buildings used to be the village garage for Oxton, as demonstrated by the old petrol pump on the right. Before that, it was the village blacksmith's forge, as shown by the tools still in place in the yard. To see some of his wheelwright's equipment, go to http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3081788 to see the bending machine and pit still in place in the yard.
