JOBMASTERS STABLES..

Tucked away on Church path Wanstead is this lovely old building. It is now a family run garage, I and K Brown much used by locals. They service and repair cars. In it's previous life however, it was used by a ' Jobmaster ', someone who hired out horses and carriages often supplying the driver as well. So I expect things really haven't  changed that much, its still about transportation.

  1. I often walk past this place and I never even noticed what a fine old building it actually is. I also did not know of the history as a stables. Thank you so much for this interesting post! I'm also enjoying the project over-all. Many thanks.
