The Carding Shed / Oil Can Café

The Carding Shed at Washpit Mills combines a vintage motoring museum with IK Classics' working restoration garage and the Oil Can Café. It's housed in part of a restored woollen mill on the outskirts of Holmfirth.

Visitors can browse classic cars and automobilia, shop the emporium of motoring collectibles, join occasional garage tours for enthusiasts, and eat in a motoring-themed café serving breakfast, lunch and homemade cakes.
