A look at Taylor's garage from the outside. Today it's an art gallery I think. This picture was taken in the 1980's Look there's a TR7 parked outside.

Just another office in the garage, but who is this?

This was the biggest garage in the area.

This is Frankey, head of the sales team at Taylor's garage in the 1980's

Taylor's garage was probable the largest in the town but most certainly the longest running. Near the end though the garage was brought out by Monfords who continued to repair, sell and supply parts for British Leyland vehicles in Penzance Supplied by Di and Dennis Barnes

Having enough foresight to recognise the motor car as a credible business was just one of the many talents of MR Taylor who owned Taylor's garage. The garage was situated across the road from where the Jubilee pool is today. Mr Taylor was the very first person to drive a motor car in to Penzance...

One of the oldest garages in Penzance... Quite likely one of the earliest garages in the country. This picture was taken of Taylor's garage in 1910. By this time he was already a well established business. The guy in the middle of this picture is Mr Taylor himself. This picture taken in 1910
