PRESTON STREET

Tills Garage at the foot of Preston Street in 1920. This area seems to have been used for commercial purposes since the early years of the present century whereas the street itself is very much older as witness the wall sign of John Ingarfield, Fishmonger. The yard may have evolved from the rear areas of the large houses in Regency Square (the backs of which are seen) or it may have had some connection with the new Club in Kings Road, the railings of which can be seen at the extreme right. James Tills was here from 1919 until 1925, but the yard has since had a long association with the motor trade.
