Abstract:Over the decades the work of the wheelwright declined, but blacksmithing prospered and it was to the blacksmith that many early motorists turned to fabricate replacements or repairs for their cars. It was a natural starting point for the embryonic motor trade and it was here that Archie Quick came in November 1925 to join the two blacksmiths who were needed to meet local demand. The wheelwrights shop became the garage workshop.
