About the Business
The history that precedes the Wells garage of today is astonishing and it really deserves its place in Ringwood's recent history. Simply, Wells is the only survivor of the original garages of Ringwood. The land was purchased by James W. Wells with the sole intention of building a place where people could have their automobiles serviced and repaired and in 1930 the garage was built. The chosen site was also no coincident as Mr. Wells sighted the notorious hump back bridge just off the Salisbury road as a possible hot spot for suspension problems. During the second World War the petrol pumps were commandeered and guarded by the MOD such was the value and importance of fuel and these duties were later taken over by the American Army. Guarded 24/7 the soldiers lived in tents on the site and became very good friends to the Wells family thanks to the generous hospitality and Mrs. Wells cooking!
