In October 1930, the Evening Telegraph reported on a break-in at these garages. At the time half of the building was occupied by John Horne and the other by John Hay - both were described as 'motor hirers'. Some of their business would have been to convey visitors to the village between the station and their boarding houses or hotels and the like. Both premises were broken into in 1930 and three men subsequently were sent to prison for theft of various items.
