Description
Nestled between The Usher Building and Cornelius General Hospital, Nuttycombe Auto Repair is protected by the Mad Craskers and is very important to survivors in the Craske Triangle. Club Swabey is the current Entry Point to access this resource building. Mester Square is the Revive Point for this area.
The Mad Craskers Forum maintains a thread dedicated to the current status of this and surrounding buildings. Additionally, the Heytown suburb page provides regional building status at a glance.
History
The Nuttycombe family owned this Auto Repair Shop for five generations. When built in 1923, it was surrounded by trees. By the 60's Malton had grown and cleared them all away. In the 70's, the gas price wars with nearby Woolf and Hickling shops made the Malton newspapers. When Club Swabey opened in the early 90's, they rented parking spaces from the Nuttycombes. The Nuttycombe family stayed after the quarantine was issued, refusing to give up the tiny turf handed from father to son for eight decades.
After the fall of Malton, a diary was found on a fuel scouting mission by the Grazny Vecks. After reading their sad tale, the Vecks asked the Mad Craskers to enshrine it in a special display at the Craske Museum. The diary describes that the family lasted for at least several weeks. The abrupt end of the diary implies that Jack and Martha Nuttycombe and their 3 children were probably 'recruited' by the shambling hordes.
In August 2007 the Mad Craskers we're pleased to announce that Nuttycombe Auto had become the Northern Wing of Craske Museum, and is now open for visitors with an interest in modern works. In the spirit of much urban regeneration, such as can be found in the English cities of London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool, this once industrial space has now been reclaimed as an art gallery space. The collection at Nuttycombe is eclectic, focusing on new and emerging works, as a balance to the traditional collection housed in the main building.
As a homage to this building's industrial past, you'll find the gift shop is still well stocked with fuel cans, spray cans, wire cutters etc.
Why not include a trip to Nuttycombe as part of a full day itinerary with the displays at Craske Museum?
