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.

Abstract:In the immediate post-war period, the provision of employment was considered to be a major problem. There were large numbers of civilians whose work was connected with the war effort, and this would obviously terminate when the war ended. There were also a very large number of people being demobilised from the forces. These facts prompted Brighton Council to take steps in the mid 1940s to ensure the prosperity and continuing employment of Brighton people, by planning a large industrial estate.
