Homage to the internal combustion engine .....and bicycles.

At Beamish Museum there is a fabulous replica of a typical 1900s town Garage. They employed  men with the skills of blacksmiths wheelwrights. Car components were not standardised  so it seems a garage had to stock a large numbr of spare parts. I loved this shop ... it even has the smell of engine oil and grease... It's a really busy photo .... but I make no apology for that ... I spot something different each time I look at it ...

I remember this spot well at Besmish although I have not been lucky enough to see someone behind the counter.

Smashing photo of an amazing place.

A great study Polly, your post processing helps to define the multitude of component parts,so that the eyes don't flit around too much.....instead, it encourages the viewer to take time, to take stock of a veritable Aladins cave of mechanical goodies.

I don't mean to denigrate the image, but this would make a superb jigsaw. A great many puzzlers would absolutely love this. As do I.

Beamish would be a great place for a BDO!

Reminds me of my early days when I was a young Mechanic, I can smell it now looking at that pic.

That's some serious editing, Lovely image! 
Like Beepy's Smithy pic I have one very similar from our visit a month or so back.

Thanks gang ...  a bit of nostalgia  though I dont think any of us go back quite as far as the time that this garage was depicting . You are right Korks... great place for a BDO ... But it would entail a stopover for a few  of us ... which is fine  for me. Beepy is lucky to have it almost on his doorstep . We ought to consider it for the 2018 TIPF Spring  BDO maybe..

Great shot .... I've got pictures of the car on the right of the garage, but like most I didnt get the chance to catch anyone behind the counter

I chatted to him for half an hour and he talked the whole time as if it really  was about  1930.!
