<br/>In 1983, when I first moved to Horsforth, there was a small local garage here. Later that year it was taken over by the Carnell group, which became part of the Dixon Motor Group in 1997. Dixon went into receivership in July 2007, and this site was taken over by Evans Halshaw, who already occupied the adjacent site - see [[[819384]]]
