A garage has been here for at least fifty years. The forecourt of what is now Nu-Car Diesel Centre used to be a filling station, and was one of the last in the Ringwood area to offer a pump attendant to do the filling for you. Beyond is the junction with the A338 Ringwood to Salisbury road. According to my 1921 New Forest map, this road here, which is named Salisbury Road, was the main road to Salisbury until the bigger and better A338 was built, some time before 1947.
