History

Charles Hainsworth had the place constructed for his saddlery business in 1928. at a time when mechanisation was beginning to infiltrate the agricultural and transport industries, it was a very bold business enterprise and premises. The Dining Room was planned as the "Grand Cafe" and the Museum which now occupies that room, still has examples of the furniture and fittings which were arranged for the cafe, including inscribed cutlery. A number of outbuildings were constructed on the site, including a cellar, and a bathroom under the tankstand.
