The Eagle part of the firm was started by a chap called Albert Benson, who started up just after the war, his first garage was at the end of Eagle St. (thus the name Eagle)which is off New Lane Ossy, I live on Eagle St in the 60s and actually helped pull the old garage down when it got very dangerous. Albert moved his business to a Garage in Dale Street Ossy in the 50s (which is near the civic theatre) he sold out to Frasers when he retired, His Wife Betty also had an Hairdressers at the corner of Dale Street
