This garage has an unusual clock tower - a shame the clock does not work. Having a forecourt entrance on a T-junction with a mini roundabout does create a certain level of confusion. In the 1930s this garage provided the fuel for the nearby municipal airport at Westley Airfield beside Newmarket Road - a car would be dispatched with piles of petrol cans.
