Old Motor House (Rothbury Garage)


Rothbury Garage (now 'The Old Motor House') is located on Town Foot in Rothbury. It is a rare surviving, and relatively unaltered, pre-First World War garage. It was built by John T. Lee in 1913, at a time when only a wealthy people had motor cars. Rothbury Garage is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.[1] During the second World war the garage was requisitioned by the army who used it as a tank park, ammunition store and a bakery! Jon Radgick, a classic car enthusiast, bought Rothbury Garage in 2000, which now specialises in servicing, restoring and other services for older cars.[2] The front middle bay of the building hosts a shop called 'Pots & Paws'.
