This is the only historical photo I know from the Anchor Garage – I would say this is late 80s to early 90s and was posted on Panoramio from the wonderful BrownhillsGeorge. I have no idea what’s going on, but it’s a great shot.
Here’s a good one for a Sunday – I’ve been asked about the history of Anchor Garage in Lindon Road, between Brownhills and Walsall Wood – it’s a very longstanding business, and I remember as a kid it sold petrol and did car repairs, whereas now, it’s just the latter.
Reader Maz has asked if anyone remembers the garage, and the man who owned it for a while – Bernard Bullock, who sadly passed away a few weeks ago.
Maz said:
Hey Bob.
Have you got any historical information on The Anchor Garage in Brownhills?
My friend Bernard Bullock owned that garage for a while. Sadly he died a few weeks ago. Just wanted to reminisce really, to see if anyone knew of him or even had any stories because he was a wonderful man who helped anyone with anything…
Thanks Bob
Maz
I know nothing about the place, but it is a very old local business, and I’d love to hear what you know. Please do comment here or mail me: BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers – ant thanks to Maz for a great enquiry.
