Up until 1954/55 this was a Pub & Smithy, the blacksmith had the right hand side of the building up to Turners Garage. When the blacksmith retired my father rented that half of the building from Almonds Brewery to garage our car . In September 1962, that part of the building was partially demolished when a lorry lost control on the corner and embedded into into the wall and doors. Our car was also damaged from the falling debris. See Album-Places-Standish-#29232-29233 & 29237
