I drove into Upton-upon-Severn a couple of weeks ago and admired the Regal Garage with its super frontage and Art Deco style lettering. All it needed was to have a couple of classic cars parked outside for the full effect.The Vintage Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479653990888198151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-69104495621236288602012-03-01T18:06:42.765+00:002012-03-01T18:06:42.765+00:00Murgatroyd: Thank you very much.

I'm delighted that it is still a very busy and much used place. <br />You've just reminded me of this very short piece of film about Much Marcle made by Claude Freise Greene from the 1920's: <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZb38SUSfE4Murgatroydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793243750032614020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-33434593383448089632012-03-01T10:15:44.467+00:002012-03-01T10:15:44.467+00:00Worm: Indeed.
