TURBERVILL GARAGE

Not very far away from the site of the old windmill stood these buildings, 53, Dyke Road. They ran back between Bath Street and Compton Avenue and were originally known as Montpelier Mews, a long range of stabling, dating probably from about 1850. In 1919 Mr P Tuberville Smith opened a motor school and garage here many of the old stables being converted into lock-ups. About 1927 the premises were reconstructed internally and the present buildings fronting Dyke Road, consisted of flats on the upper floors, were erected. Due to renumbering the address is now 76/80, Dyke Road.
