Early photograph showing Langtree Garage could be 1920's or 1930's?

From the days when motoring was a pleasure albeit for the wealthy.

Alas, it wasn't always a pleasure Poet. Cars were not very reliable back in the 60s and 70s, I recall many cold, snowy, winter mornings when I had to push my little Mini to the top of the hill where I live and then start it off down hoping and praying that the wretched thing would fire up before I got to the bottom.
More often than not it did oblige but sometimes I had to abandon it at the bottom of the hill for the day while I trudged off to the main road in search of a Bus to work.

The chip shop just on the left was good. The garage owner was Dick Harper 1950s to 1980s.
