EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling energy of a street scene outside Pratt's Garage, a historic establishment that once stood as a beacon of transportation and community in a bygone era. The image is filled with a sense of movement and activity, as people and vehicles converge at the garage, which offers petrol pumps, a restaurant, and provisions for travelers. At the center of the scene, a man checks the tire pressure of a car at one of the Shell petrol pumps, while a woman exits a shop carrying bags of groceries. A motorcycle and a Healey car are parked nearby, their gleaming surfaces reflecting the sunlight. Above the garage, a banner for the Automobile Association (AA) and the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) flutters in the wind, signaling the importance of the garage as a hub for motorists. The road leading away from the garage is filled with cars and motorbikes, their drivers and riders preparing for their journeys. The scene is a testament to the history of transportation and the role that garages like Pratt's played in facilitating travel and providing essential services to communities. This photograph is not only a historical document, but also a vivid reminder of the sense of adventure and freedom that comes with the open road.
