The building BHB operates out of has been operating as a mechanical workshop since around 1920. It was rebuilt in the 1930’s after the original building from 1889 burnt down. It has been known under a number of names including BHB Motors, Binger and Bentley Garage (hence the B and B in our name!) and Central Garage. Prior to being a mechanical garage the building was a post office and general store.
