East Leake Landmark
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015
When memories go back
as they often do
Johnson's Garage in East Leake
Is a place everyone knew .
The Johnson's made it a landmark
Mending cars, selling petrol, and parafin
Their little shop was amazing
For bikes they had everything
It was built in 1902
and owned by a Blacksmith
In 1937 John Johnson
Took over as a machanic
Years went by,two sons
John and Alan were born
John followed in, his dad's footsteps
To take over from dad he wouldn't regret
One thing with the Garage
it never changed its name
JOHNSON'S in the village
The name would remain
1995 the old petrol pumps were removed
New regulations, had now been approved
20 years on, another Johnny, helped dad
Now they've retired and that is sad
So Johnson's garage is no more
' Closed' is now a sign on the door
Sue , John, and Johnny junior
We wish you the very best
after all these years,
you certainly need a rest
