Seymour's Design for a garage, or maybe Wesley's ?

[and7barton]

Has anybody besides me spotted the block of garages in Holmfirth that could only have been designed by Seymour or Wesley ? - It's a block of four or five garages with up-and-over doors, with another block of identical garages ON TOP of them. No ramp or any way of driving a car into the upper storey of garages, unless your car can levitate.

Have not been in a year or so but it sounds a typical Seymour invention. Park more cars on the one piece of ground.

I spotted it a few years ago - From the decrepit look of it, it's been there for years.
It's in the yard of Birks funeral Directors, on the Woodhead Road on the LH side, a good way before the turn-off for Ivy's cottage (Co-op Lane, Dobbs Lane and Spring Lane), just a minute out of the town.
Before Birks took over, I think it was an engineering company. I think they used the building for some hazardous activity like electroplating or something and I think maybe they opened those top doors to let toxic fumes out.
Maybe it was a paint-spraying shop ?

I was curious, so I looked for your garages on Google. It is very interesting indeed!

Thanks for the picture. This is really intriguing. It doesn't appear to have a floor to the upper level, or a ceiling to the ground level. If that's the case than the upper level doors must be for ventilation. Would be nice if someone in the area could check it out.
