I photographed that place back in 2004:

The Queen's Royal Garage

This striking frontage on Westgate Street is now owned by the slightly less grand-sounding, Castle Cabs.

The Art Deco style frieze features a coach and airplane in bas relief, topped off with the inscription, 'Carways Airways'.

another good really old pic!

Very interesting image sent in by an anonymous contributor- looking towards Kingsway. It shows the Duke St buildings that were later demolished.
